Input Power |
• 208~240 VAC single phase (For 110 VAC, please order a 3000W transformer) • Max. power consumption: 1500 W |
High Voltage Power Supply |
• -15kV to +15kV Dual HV powersupply, 0.5 mA max current • Digital voltmeter and current meter • Electrostatic removal device-discharge stick is integrated to the fume hood • Constant current / constant voltage modes available • Built-in arc protection circuit. Normally for the electrospinning process, current < 5 μA. Please limit current < 20 μA to avoid high voltage arcing damage |
Dual-channel Syringe Pump |
• Dual-channel syringe pump with independent speed control allows syringes to eject solution at different rates. • Four syringe dispensing systems are included and controlled by the software. (Two syringes per group at the same pump rate) • Compatible with standard 2.5 to 60 mL glass syringes • Pumping rate: 1 uL/min - 35 mL/min for the included 20 mL syringe • Syringe holder made of insulating material to work under high voltage conditions • Programmable X motion profile to control the film coating characteristics • Moving resolution 1mm. • In standard package, only the standard high voltage alligator clip support is included. The 3-axis support and T shape dual 3-axis nozzle support are not included. Attention: Please use the glass syringes. Due to the safety concerns, do not use the disposal plastic syringes. |
Metal Funnel Collector and Yarn Spool |
• Metal funnel collector is a funnel shaped rotating mandrel where fiber yarns are formed and rolled into spool. A thin film web of nanofiber is first formed on a metal funnel collector and is drawn initially to a 3D cone shape. With the rotation of funnel collector, a twisted nanofiber yarn is drawn from the vertex of the cone. • Rotating speed: 300 to 4000rpm • Material: Aluminium • Diameter: 100mm • Yarn Spool is compact and modular motorized positioner for rolling the nanofiber yarn into spool. Stepper motor is used as electrical actuator. Yarn Spool is XY axis configurable. • Material: Acetal resin • Rotating speed: 1 to 100 rpm • Linear reciprocating movement: 50mm |
Mandrel Collector Plate Collector Y-Stage Collector |
Three types of collectors are included as standard accessory Mandrel collectors for electrospinning • 7 sets with various size: 200 mm length x 100, 75, 25, 12, 6, 2 mm Dia. • Actuator: Microprocessor controlled BLDC motor with hall sensor feedback • Speed: 400 to 3500 rpm adjustable with stability: +/-1% • PC-based control of speed and duration • Rotating mandrels can be used as a target to get an aligned continuous mesh of nanofiber Plate collector for nanofiber-collecting • 320 mm×100 mm×2 mm thick stainless steel plate with grounding Y-stage collector for flat film coating • Stage dimensions 250 mm×175 mm×2 mm thick • Plate material: Stainless steel • Programmable Y motion profile to control the film coating characteristics • PC-based control of speed, movement profile, and duration • Moving Resolution 1mm |
Lamp Heater |
• Halogen lamp heater with thermal couple and digital temperature controller are integrated into the fume hood for environmental heating up to 40 ºC • Max power: 1000 W |
Fume Hood |
• Stand-alone unit with built-in power supply and features like heater, lighting and exhaust fan • Transparent glass windows on front and both sides for easy monitoring of the electrospinning process • Footprint: 1000 mm×800 mm×1672 mm • Construction material: Stainless Steel, Aluminum, and Glass. Fume hood is epoxy coated for electrical insulation • Front door interlock for turning off high voltage output when the door is accidentally opened during the electrospinning process. Hazard lamp is installed on top of the fume hood to indicate that high voltage output is on. • Exhaust fan with 3.8'' Dia. venting port is installed on the top of the hood which can be connected to an exhaust outlet at the customer's facility • The volumetric flow of Exhaust fan is 117 CFM (cubic foot/minute [ft3/min]). |
Software |
• The system controller box is connected to laptop or Surface Pro via RS232 port and USB adapter • Centralized software control of syringe pump, X-stage, Y-stage, mandrel collector, and almost all of the electrospinning parameters • All of the process parameters can be saved as a user process and retrieved later for analysis or re-run • One brand new laptop computer or one Microsoft Surface Pro with pre-installed software is included. |
Humidity Monitor and Control | Humidity monitor is integrated into the fume hood for monitoring the humidity level (RH%) ranging from 2%-95%. |
Warranty | One-year limited warranty with lifetime support (demo before purchase available) |
