In an image-recording system () for a dispensing head () with numerous dispensers (, . . . ), in which a predetermined light path from a lighting device () to an image-recording device () intersects a drop release area of a drop-releasing dispenser (), a deviating device () is provided with which a measuring light segment () is formed along a predetermined reference line through the drop release area, wherein the lighting and image-recording devices () are spaced apart from the reference line.

Method and device for recording an image on drop-producing dispensing heads

A plant is provided for rapid pick and place operations, enabling automated systems that return to at least one approximately fixed position to run faster than the rate of conventional systems. The plant utilises a novel combination of robotic design, linear motor technology, and control software. A system and method if provided for the rapid production of high-density arrays of biologically active substances.

Pick and place robot system

A multi-channel dispensing head including a plurality of micropipettes, each micropipette having an electrically actuatable trigger device with a ground and signal terminal; and a shared carrier having a plurality of receptacles located in a one- or two-dimensional arrangement and sized and shaped to receive said micropipettes, each receptacle having a ground and signal contact, wherein the ground and signal contacts on the carrier are spaced apart in the direction of a longitudinal axis extending through the respective micropipettes and each of the ground and signal contacts on the carrier contacting the ground and signal terminals of the trigger devices, respectively.

Device and procedure for the electrically triggered microdrop release with a dispensing head

For the detection of the position and/or velocity of microparticles which move from dispensers of a dispensing head ( ) to a target, a detector target with two linear bound, electro-acoustic or electro-optic interactive areas which fix a target plane is used. When microparticles impact on the interactive areas, detector signals are determined from which along with the dispensing head position motion parameters of the microparticles are obtained.
