SC-IJS Ink Jet System for Sensor Coating
 |
The SC-IJS Ink Jet System for Sensor Coating uses the latest in
Ink-Jet technology. The station has been designed specifically for
coating chemical sensors and is compatible with a wide range of
solvents and polymers. The coating station can be used to apply
polymers to nano-scale sensors, to individual cantilevers, and to
sensor arrays with films a few nm thick. |
A variety of ink-jet nozzles are available to provide drop sizes
from 30 up to 100 micron in diameter. The station is capable of
delivering 10s of picograms of material per drop. The station is
computer controlled and a single drop can be placed on demand or at
a designated rate from 1 to 1000s per second. This allows the
station to be capable of providing consistent and reproducible
coatings while reducing the amount of coating material needed.
