Staccato Coatings
Staccato Dispense Capillaries deliver stable printing for many reagents. The exceptionally high manufacturing tolerances give consistent drop ejection and minimize salt deposits. However, some printing applications, such as proteins, oleic solutions, and organic solvents benefit from coating the silica capillary.
We offer a range of coatings providing hydrophobic surfaces that reduce reagent absorption in the capillary channel and help clean ejection from the front plate. The coatings are covalently bonded providing an ultra-thin layer that is biocompatible and biostable.
We have two standard coatings: Alto and Bass. These give moderate and high hydrophobicity respectively. The choice should be discussed with Lighthouse applications team. Further, we can tailor the choice and adhesion method of coatings to suit your specific reagent application.
