New Piezoelectric Sorting Head for Single Cell Isolation

​

Pipetting nanoliter scale volumes is challenging due to several technical difficulties including surface tension, adhesion and evaporation effects. We developed a fully automated piezoelectric micropipette with a precision of <1 nanoliter. The piezo micropipette can be fully automated using either fluorescent or transparent illumination on a microscope.

 

Main applications: single cell isolation, single cell printing, and nanoliter droplet printing.
