Sustainability is no longer optional. It’s a responsibility—especially in science and manufacturing, where every decision impacts both the planet and operational performance. At PolyPico Technologies, we believe that precision should never come at the cost of sustainability.
That’s why our micro dispensing technology is designed to operate without the use of cleaning reagents, dramatically reducing waste and environmental impact while simplifying lab and production workflows.
Here’s how we do it—and why it matters more than ever.
The Problem with Cleaning in Traditional Dispensing Systems
Most traditional liquid handling systems—whether syringe pumps, peristaltic tubes, or glass reservoirs—require extensive cleaning between uses to prevent cross-contamination. This cleaning process involves:
-
Harsh chemical reagents
-
Large volumes of water or solvents
-
Time-consuming manual steps
-
Disposal of contaminated waste
Not only is this inefficient, but it also creates a significant environmental burden—generating hazardous waste and increasing both water and chemical usage.
In high-throughput environments, that impact adds up quickly.
PolyPico’s Solution: A Closed, Cartridge-Based Approach
At PolyPico Technologies, we’ve engineered our microdispensing platform to eliminate cleaning from the workflow entirely. Our exchangeable cartridge system is designed to:
✅ Avoid Cross-Contamination by Design
Each cartridge is a closed system—there’s no internal tubing, no fluid path crossover, and nothing to flush. Once you’re done dispensing, simply replace the cartridge. There’s no residue, no risk of carryover, and no need to clean.
✅ Zero Cleaning Reagents Required
Because there’s nothing to rinse out, you don’t need ethanol, water, or caustic detergents to prepare your system for the next experiment. That means no toxic waste, no solvent disposal, and no hidden sustainability costs in your workflow.
✅ Minimal Waste, Maximum Usability
Our system’s ultra-low dead volume ensures you can use nearly all of your sample—perfect for high-value or limited-quantity reagents. That also means less leftover material to discard or clean up later.
✅ Ready-to-Go Efficiency
Load. Dispense. Dispose. That’s it. No wash cycles, dry-down time or chemicals going down the drain.
Why It Matters: The Environmental and Operational Impact
Sustainability isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about operational efficiency and long-term responsibility. By eliminating cleaning reagents, PolyPico helps you:
-
Reduce water and solvent usage
-
Cut chemical waste disposal costs
-
Minimize energy consumption from cleaning equipment
-
Simplify SOPs and reduce labor overhead
-
Lower your lab’s environmental footprint
Whether you’re in biotech, pharma, diagnostics, or materials science, your team can spend less time worrying about cleaning protocols and more time focused on what really matters: results.
