Novel Materials Research

Enhance your materials research capabilities with precise Sonoplot Microplotter® systems. Our high-performance dispensers are engineered for picolitre deposition of an array of feedstock types, covering a viscosity range of 0-450 centipoise (cP). Subsequently compatible with an extremely broad range of fluids, our Microplotter® systems have proven integral for various processes in materials research and development (R&D) lines.

Sonoplot Microplotters® are primarily employed as fluid dispensers for critical components with microscale features and geometries. With superb lateral resolution approaching just 5 microns (μm) and exceptional feedstock flexibility, our Microplotters® have been leveraged for academic investigations of advanced material configurations and to enhance existing materials research technologies and tools, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS).

Research groups have exploited the unique precision – in terms of resolution, feature size, volume regularity, and so on – of our Microplotters® to selectively deposit catalytic solutions for carbon nanotube (CNT) growth. Accurate and easy-to-use, Sonoplot Microplotters® are a convenient alternative to expensive and time-consuming photolithographic deposition of CNT catalysts for leading-edge materials research into monolayer materials.
