BioJet™
Powered by the BioJet Technology
The Sphera Discovery harnesses our proprietary Discrete Droplet Dispensing™ BioJet technology to produce uniform and precise lyobeads. This innovative, quantitative non-contact system combines the BioJet “Drop-on-Demand” valve with a high-resolution syringe pump. The BioJet accurately meters reagent amounts, leveraging the advantages of non-contact dispensing while allowing for the programming of exact drop volumes.
Compact
Designed specifically for emerging R&D labs, our compact platform offers an ideal solution for creating high-quality lyobeads with precision and ease. Its small footprint allows it to fit comfortably on any lab bench, making it perfect for space-constrained environments. This streamlined design integrates seamlessly into any lab setup.
Efficient
This compact lyobead formation system accurately dispenses precise droplets (spheres) into detachable liquid nitrogen containers. Featuring a high-resolution, adaptive syringe pump paired with our high-speed BioJet valve, it ensures precise placement of high-throughput droplets for compatible reagents. A single tip can generate up to 1,000 beads per hour.
Easy to Use
Transferring lyobeads has never been easier. With convenient, removable containers, you can effortlessly transport lyobeads to the lyophilizer, maintaining process integrity from start to finish.
