Poly-Pico Technology can dispense
small volume perfectly from as
little as 0.000,02ul of cDNA to 5ul
of cDNA. This is 250,000 times
smaller than the standard volume of
cDNA normally used with pipettes.
Poly-Pico technology is excellently
suitable for the application of
biological sources for generating
high content antibody (and
protein) arrays.
Poly-Pico Technologies successfully
carried out non-contact experiments
at the Irish Institute of Molecular
Medicine which allowed for the
separation of living cells in an
advanced suspension medium
avoiding any damage to the cells in a
non-contact process.

Poly-Pico Technologies Ltd. offers off-the-shelf and custom
solutions to meet your high precision ultra low volume dispensing
needs. This user-friendly innovative system has man
derived from the use of disposable cartridge technology. Poly-Pico
technology is designed to reduce costs and increase yields in Life
Sciences and industrial applications.
Key Features & Be
ts
 Non-contact drop-on-demand, ultra low volume fluid dispensing
 No risk of cross contamination, through the use of disposable fluid cartridges
How the technology works
 No requirement to wash/clean the system between successive samples
 Ultra high accuracy: +/- 2 % of desired volume, for all dispensed volumes
 Self calibrating and verifiable
 Unused fluids can be recovered and returned to their storage container
Applications
 For storage/delivery purposes, fluids must be frozen in the cartridge
Disposable dispensing
head containing the fluid
 No significant dead volume
 Printing of high density microarrays
 Multiple dispensing head configurations available
 Cartridges available in a range of orifice sizes (50, 70 and 100um)
 Maximises the use of reagents by minimising dead volume

Poly-Pico’s technology allows you to either:
(A) Fill empty fluid dispensing cartridges with your
Drop Size
smaller single drop sizes
or
(B) Thaw frozen cartridge and load into dispensing system
own reagents/biomaterials
These cartridges are then loaded into the dispensing system and the fluids are precisely dispensed in pico to nano litre volumes.
Once the cartridge is empty, it is disposed of in order to completely avoid any risk of cross contamination.
