Laboratory  Nozzles

EPCOTEC’s laboratory electrospinning nozzles are designed with versatility and precision in mind, making them a valuable tool for researchers and professionals in the field of nanofiber production. These nozzles incorporate advanced features to ensure compatibility and adaptability across various electrospinning applications.

Key Features:

1. Micro Chuck and Lauer Screw Design:
   • Micro Chuck: The micro chuck mechanism allows for secure and precise holding of needles of various sizes. This design ensures that the needle remains stable during the electrospinning process, which is crucial for achieving uniform fiber production.
   • Lauer Screw: The lauer screw system provides an adjustable and tight fit for the needles. This flexibility allows users to quickly change needles without the need for additional tools, enhancing the ease of use and efficiency in a laboratory setting.
2. Compatibility with Different Needle Types and Sizes:
   • EPCOTEC nozzles are designed to accommodate any type and size of needle, making them highly versatile. Whether using standard hypodermic needles or custom-made needles for specific applications, the EPCOTEC nozzle system can handle the task. This broad compatibility is particularly beneficial for experimental setups where different fiber diameters and material properties are required.
3. Modular Needle Blocks:
   • Number of Needles: EPCOTEC offers nozzle blocks with varying numbers of needles, ranging from 2 to 20. This modularity allows for scalability in electrospinning operations, whether for small-scale laboratory research or larger-scale production.
   • Customizable Configurations: Users can select the appropriate number of needles based on their specific needs. For example, a 2-needle block might be suitable for precise, small-scale experiments, while a 20-needle block could be used for higher throughput applications.

Applications and Benefits:

• Research and Development: The flexibility in needle type and size, combined with the adjustable micro chuck and lauer screw, makes these nozzles ideal for R&D environments where different materials and fiber morphologies are being explored.
• Production Scalability: The availability of different needle block configurations allows for easy scaling of production processes. Researchers can start with a smaller setup and expand as needed without changing the entire system.
• Precision and Uniformity: The secure holding of needles ensures that the electrospinning process is consistent, resulting in uniform nanofiber production. This consistency is critical for applications requiring high-quality nanofibers, such as in medical devices, filtration systems, and advanced materials research.

In summary, EPCOTEC laboratory electrospinning nozzles offer a highly adaptable and user-friendly solution for electrospinning applications. The micro chuck and lauer screw mechanisms, combined with the ability to use any needle type and the availability of multiple needle blocks, provide unmatched versatility and efficiency for both research and production environments.
