Microdispensing performance depends on more than target volume. The physical dispensing principle, liquid properties, substrate behaviour, geometry and process control all influence droplet formation, spot quality and reproducibility.
These technical guides explain the three core microdispensing principles used across the M2-Automation portfolio: piezoelectric dispensing, solenoid-driven dispensing and contact pin printing. Each guide focuses on the underlying physics, relevant process parameters, practical limitations and suitable application areas.
No single dispensing technology is universally suitable. The right approach depends on the required volume range, liquid viscosity, surface tension, substrate sensitivity, target geometry, throughput and whether physical contact with the substrate is acceptable.
The technical guides explain the physical mechanisms behind each dispensing technology. For product-specific information, including available configurations, technical specifications and application support, visit the respective microdispenser pages.
Non-contact piezo-driven dispensing for precise picoliter droplets.
Non-contact solenoid-driven dispensing from nanoliters to microliters.
Contact-based pin dispensing for selected picoliter and nanoliter spotting workflows.
Choosing a dispensing technology starts with the application. Share your target volume, liquid properties, substrate, spot geometry and throughput requirements with the M2-Automation team.
