Bench-Top NanoFiber Electrospinning System with 3 Collectors & Heater & Humidity Monitor - MSK-NFES-3
MSK-NFES-3 is a bench-top electrospinning system. It features a user-friendly and task-oriented design. The ease of operation and competitive pricing places our equipment ahead of other products available in the market. MSK-NFES-3 syringe pump renders a smooth and uninterrupted flow enabling uniform spinning. The high voltage power supply delivers a 0-30 kV output voltage range with a maximum current capacity of 0.5 mA. A Y-stage target, a stationary plate target, and rotating mandrels of different diameters are included along with the unit.MSK-NFES-3 fume hood provides an enclosed atmosphere with transparent side walls to monitor the electrospinning process. A common electronic control unit is integrated into the fume hood. The fume hood also has features like the exhaust fan, granite work surface, halogen lighting, and optional features like exhaust duct dimension customization.Nanofiber Electrospinning unit is a system for producing the ultrafine fiber with a diameter of 20 - 1000 nm. The nanofiber has a high specific surface area, small diameter, and large porosity. There are more than 100 kinds of polymers that could be used as raw materials, and also protein, collagen, organics (PEO, DNA, PAA, PLA, nylon, polyester, acryl resin, PVA, PS, PAN, peptide, cellulose).Note: Updated with one 3-axis nozzle & Dual-channel syringe pump with independent speed control from July 1, 2016. Updated with integrated humidity monitor from February 1, 2017 SPECIFICATIONS Features Software control of various features like mandrel rotating speed, duration, syringe pump flow rate, X, Y stage speed, etc. Rotating mandrel targets of varying diameters, Y-stage targets, and stationary plate targets are provided with the system. Stand-alone fume hood has features like an exhaust fan, halogen lighting, and a transparent door for monitoring electrospinning process The built-in arc protection circuit Input Power 208~240 VAC single-phase (For 110 VAC, please order a 3000W transformer) Max power consumption: 1500 W High Voltage Power Supply 0 - 30 kV single output, 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 A 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 50 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 the standard package, only the standard high voltage alligator clip support is included. The 2-axis support and T shape dual 2-axis nozzle support are not included. (See optional.) Attention: Please use the glass syringes. Due to safety concerns, do not use the disposal of plastic syringes. Co Axis Nozzle Package for Combined Solution Ejecting (Optional) Combined with the dual-channel syringe pump, the Co-axis nozzle can mix two fiber-forming solutions together and eject the mixture. Solutions are combined at the tip of the Co-axis nozzle head. What is in the optional package: One (1) Co-axis Nozzle Two (2) syringes with Tube Mount One (1) 2-axis Support One (1) T-shape Dual 2-axis Nozzle Support Tri-axial Nozzle is available upon request (not included). Mandrel CollectorPlate CollectorY-Stage Collector Three types of collectors are included as a standard accessory Mandrel collectors for electrospinning 3 sets with various size: 200 mm length x 100, 6, 2 mm Dia. (75, 25, 12 mm Dia. are optional) Actuator: Microprocessor controlled BLDC motor with sensor-less EMF-based feedback technology. 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 x 100 mm x 2 mm thick stainless steel plate with grounding Y-stage collector for flat film coating Stage dimensions 250 mm x 175 mm x 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 the thermal couple and digital temperature controller is 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 the front and both sides for easy monitoring of the electrospinning process Footprint: 1000 mm x 880 mm x 1370 mm Construction material: Stainless Steel, Aluminum, and Glass. The 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. A 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]), click the link Conversion Calculator to convert between cubic meters/hour and cubic feet/minute. 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.
