Features & Benefits

Simple droplet generation combined with electrodynamic levitation

Seamlessly utilise PolyPico patented droplet generators to generate samples for the electrodynamic cage trap.

Accurate sample positioning

Holding rings allows for precise vertical placement of droplets in the observation chamber.

Four port viewing chamber

Multiple optical excitation sources and spectral analysis instruments can simultaneously analyse samples.

Integrated control system

Compact control system for control of dispensing and the electrodynamic cage trap parameters.

Optional integration with Polypico microdispensing head

The electrodynamic cage trap can be supplied whereby it shares a microdispensing head with a Polypico microdispensing platform, thus allowing the benefits of having a microdispensing instrument and a electrodynamic cage trap.

Humidity control (user implemented option)

The cage trap includes ports for the user to implement their own bespoke humidity control strategy.

Patented disposable dispensing cartridge technology

No cross-contamination by design, change fluids in a matter of minutes, no wastage of precious liquids, with a nozzle anti-clogging feature.
