Programmable Fluid Dispensing Syringes

Smart Syringe Technology is a platform of miniature fluidic dispensing syringes with an integrated control, memory, and motion system that enables high precision liquid dispensing in the sub micro-liter volume range. Measuring just 8 mm in diameter and weighing 26 grams, these syringes require no electrical or fluidic tethers, allowing them to be picked up and dropped off by a robotic system. This also enables parallel operations to occur simultaneously on the same work deck for extremely high throughput. The on-board microprocessor and memory in each syringe provides the ability to execute, store, and record sample workflows, making workflow management automated and sample-centric. Single or multiple syringes can be configured to independently aspirate and dispense liquid in a variety of applications.
