Full automation of nanopatterning processes
Combining microcontact printing flexibility and high-precision automation, the InnoStamp 40 is the perfect tool for nano and micropatterning. A user-friendly system, the InnoStamp 40 allows users to control their processing in order to transfer a wide range of components homogeneously onto defined surfaces.
The InnoStamp 40, based on the InnoStamp technology, allows for full automation of nanopatterning processes.
- High process reproducibility
- Nanometric resolution
- Easy Scaling up and easy valorization of your R&D activity
- No loss of know-how
- A fast and reliable support
- Multiplexing solution
- User friendly GUI
General Description
As a new fully automated microcontact printing solution, the InnoStamp 40 offers high-precision and uniform contact for sub-micron resolution.
- High process reproducibility thanks to the force homogeneity.
Nanometric resolution: the range of pressure allows printing at the nanoscale. - Easy Scaling up and easy valorization of your R&D activity. InnoStamp 40 is a generic system that allows users to manipulate small substrates (1cm²) for R&D purposes as well as large substrates (100cm²) for small to medium industrial series.
- No loss of know-how. InnoStamp 40 is a non user-dependent system notably preventing the loss of process knowledge acquired over time.
- A fast and reliable support. The experience of our support team combined to our partnership with academic experts in microcontact printing (Christophe VIEU from LAAS-CNRS, BIOSOFT) allow users to quickly implement their nanopatterning process.
Applications
The InnoStamp 40, the next-generation of microcontact printing, is perfect for nano and micropatterning in the following fields:
- DNA assembly
- F-Actin directed assembly
- Biosensor: Streptavidin, anti-dig, collagen, thiols patterning…
- Microfluidic inking
- Microstructured cell arrays
- Optical tags manufacturing
Technology
Our technology, InnoStamp, is based on magnetic-field assisted microcontact printing. A magnetic layer of PDMS is added to the standard stamp in order to be sensitive to the magnetic field.
With a set of magnets, it is possible to apply a force onto the stamp in order to:
- Manipulate it and move it from one step to the other during the microcontact printing process.
- Monitor the pressure during the printing step.
