CFM PrintheadThe 48 Spot CFM Printhead uses a network of microchannels to deposit 48 samples at one time in a 4 x 12 block. The spots are 400 x 600 microns with a pitch of 875 microns. For custom sensing applications array design and layout can be engineered to meet specific geometry requirements. Contact us for more details.
The printhead's microchannels are integrated within a soft silicone molded device. The printhead is operated by pressing the silicone tip against a smooth surface to form a seal around the spot deposition chambers. Samples are loaded into the CFM Instrument using standard microtiter plates. The automated sample handing transfers the samples into the microfluidic printhead using microbore tubing. The samples are then passed through the CFM microchannels over the slide surface and cycled back and forth until the desired deposition level is achieved.
