Parker Hannifin’s Pneutronic Division’s laboratory-ready PicoSpritzer fluid dispensing system is ideal for research laboratory environments. The self-contained, rack-mountable system supplies repeatable pressure pulses for rapid and reproducible ejections of pico liter and nano liter fluidic volumes. Designed to fit in a standard 19-inch rack, the PicoSpritzer integrates a high speed valve driver/timer control unit with a packaged external control valve and a pressure regulator and gage. The control unit activates the valve to produce timed pressure pulses which are delivered to the back of a drawn glass pipette.
