Business Focus

Beljet has developed a high-precision nano liter liquid dispensing machine. This machine is a very effective “liquid manager”, delivering with high precision viscous liquids (or powders, cultured cells…) on an X-Y table at high speed.

Company Profile

The machine is computer-controlled and, combined with a robot, can dispense preprogrammed volumes (as low as nanolitres) on preprogrammed places.

Originally developed for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, this machine can dispense liquids, powders and cells at high speed and precision, saving an enormous amount of reagents and a lot of time. The machine is equipped with an arm with an X-Y positioning on which a dispensing device is set. The dispenser can drop as few as a nano liter of liquid into well-plates. This machine allows filling up to 3500 wells in a well-plate in only 50 second, with a different monitored volume in each well. This feature allows testing a great number of parameters in one shot, saving months of work. The temperature in the dispensing head can be monitored and the liquid tank is small and equipped with an automatic stirrer. Dead volume of reagent is as low as 100 micro liters. The machine is entirely tightly closed.

Today, the machine is equipped 1 liquid dispensing head. A 8 fully independent dispensing head is in achievement.
A 96 independent liquids dispensing head is on the drawing table
A customer is asking for 500 different liquids stoked on the machine and dispensed 8 by 8.

The machine can be used in other context, like precision painting, controlled dispersion of viscous liquids, fine powders (+/- 0,01 mgr), micro beads,...

Science & Technology or Services

Innovative aspects of the machine:

  • High precision : standard deviation 2%
  • Every jet droplet separately controlled at high speed (1000 Hz)
  • High viscosity (100 Cps)
  • Fully stérilisable by steam (135°C 1 hour) 
  • Circuitry and valve ”heated” (4 to 60°C)
  • No sedimentation due to stirring mechanism 
  • Full automatic compensation of viscosity; surface tension…: the mass you get is the mass you asked
  • Combined with a robot, can dispense up to 100.000 preprogrammed volumes/hour

Main advantages useful for a "HEALTH project".

  • High speed of precise liquid delivery. (viscous or not, cultured cells, fine powders…)
  • Volume monitoring (each well can be filled with a different amount)
  • Very small dead volume (direct transfer from tank to well, no loss in pipette)
  • Flexibility (possibility to develop further versions tailor-made)
