PDES-02DX Pressure ejection system

The PDES-02DX enables molecules to be ejected from micropipettes with high-pressure outputs for fine pipettes or low-pressure outputs for wide pipettes. The system offers analogue or digital ejection times, manual or TTL triggering, and internal and external valves to ensure application times of less than 1 ms. Each channel includes a precise pressure regulator, display, control electronics and regulated power supply. System status is indicated by red/green LEDs and ejection volume can be viewed under a microscope. The PDES-02DX is available in single- and dual-channel versions and can be integrated as a module into the EPMS-07 system.
