Multi-Channel Dispensing

From R&D success to scalable production – Ready when you are
Once your dispensing process is validated in R&D the next step is to multiply output while keeping the same high level of precision. This is where our custom built multi-channel dispensing heads take over.
True Multi Channel Dispensing means all channels operate in perfect sync placing droplets with exact alignment to the target. That is when real performance begins.
Each Multi-Channel solution from M2-Automation is designed specifically for your workflow.
Whether adjusting nozzle pitch for microfluidic formats or building advanced 2D layouts for complex targets our systems match your needs precisely.

Key Features

  • All channels dispense in parallel for maximum throughput
  • Precision and consistency across all dispensing positions
  • Designed specifically for your substrate and layout
  • Seamless integration into batch or inline production systems
  • High sample integrity thanks to isolated fluid paths
  • Fast cycle times with minimal manual intervention

Two approaches tailored to your production goals

Every application has its own requirements, especially when it comes to throughput, sample handling, and system integration. That’s why we offer two distinct and proven multi channel concepts.

Aspirate / Dispense Mode is ideal when working with larger sample volumes or when precise control of multiple reagents is needed. Each channel draws liquid from a source plate before dispensing with full synchronization.

Bulk Mode uses onboard reservoirs to supply each channel directly, ensuring continuous operation with minimal fluid handling effort. This method offers maximum stability, cleanliness, and speed for high volume production.

Both technologies are optimized to match your workflow - whether in diagnostics, microfluidics, or biosensor manufacturing.

Aspirate / Dispense Mode

Parallel dispensing

This concept supports both high throughput and flexible assay design. Use identical samples across all channels to increase output or run different reagents in parallel to streamline workflows. The layout adapts to your biosensor or microarray format, making it ideal for multiplexed diagnostics (e.g. allergy testing) and high density spotting.

 

Efficient Multiplexed Dispensing

Precise 3x3 arrays can be printed directly into microtiter plates or onto other custom formats, with full control over nozzle placement.
Ideal for large scale production of multiplex immunoassays and microarrays where precision, speed, and minimal sample handling are critical.

Bulk Mode

Reservoir based parallel dispensing

This 12 channel system delivers parallel dispensing into complex microfluidic structures. With each channel connected to its own sample reservoir, the system is highly stable and contamination resistant. It is optimized for rapid and synchronized dispensing across high density microfluidic layouts. Production volume is increasing and this setup supports consistent high throughput while maintaining precise control.

It fits perfectly into:

  • Batch production setups using the iONE

  • Parallel liquid handling in diagnostics

  • Microfluidic chip production

  • Uniform reagent loading into confined geometries

6 Channel Custom Head with 2D Layout

Custom designed nozzle arrangements make it possible to match any target geometry. This example shows a 6 channel 2D layout firing simultaneously to precisely cover a non-linear target format. The setup is fully adapted to customer specifications, from volume to spatial distribution.

Ideal for:

  • Customized assay formats

  • Multi zone biosensor functionalization

  • High volume spotting across irregular patterns
