Options biodispenser Sphera™

stainless steel

Overview
Sphera™ is a lyobead production system using discrete droplet dispensing to generate stable, single‑unit Lyobeads for reagents and assays. The system supports precise, high‑speed, non‑contact dispensing across R&D and production scales.

Features

• Single‑drop volumes: 2 µL – 30 µL
• Volume precision: <3% CV
• High‑speed, non‑contact pneumatic dispensing
• Bulk dispense scalable from R&D to production
• Printing modes: Step-and-Repeat and On-the-Fly
• Reduces cold‑chain logistics and associated costs
• Lyobeads are thermally stable with extended shelf life
• Lower contamination risk via single‑unit reconstitution

Applications

• Enzymes
• Buffers
• Chromophores
• Probiotics
• Vaccines
• Calibrators
• PCR assays
• Antibodies
• Diagnostic reagents
• Magnetic and fluorescent particles

Options & Technology

• Pneumatic BioJet™: high‑speed micro solenoid valve with adaptive pneumatic pump
• High‑speed non‑contact dispensing (Bulk Dispense option available)
• Printing modes: Step-and-Repeat and On-the-Fly
• Dispensing tip geometries and orifice sizes to optimize drop volume and morphology for ideal Lyobead spheres
• Throughput estimates: Single tip ≈ 7,000–10,000 beads/hr; Four tips ≈ 28,000–40,000 beads/hr
