MSK-NFES-1U Compact Multi-Functional Nano-Fiber Electrospinning System with Dual 5-Channel Syringe Pumps, 10 Nozzles, and Dual Collectors
The MSK-NFES-1U is engineered for laboratory-scale electrospinning applications requiring simultaneous processing of multiple polymer solutions. It enables the fabrication of nanofibers by applying a high-voltage electric field to polymer solutions dispensed through multiple nozzles, facilitating the production of uniform nanofiber mats or coatings.
This bench-top system integrates two independent syringe pumps, each capable of operating five nozzles concurrently, allowing up to ten nozzles to inject different solutions simultaneously. The electrospinning process occurs within a transparent fume hood that provides an enclosed atmosphere with controlled humidity and temperature, monitored via an integrated humidity sensor. An exhaust fan within the hood supports dehumidification to optimize fiber formation conditions.
Key Features
- Two independent 5-channel syringe pumps with adjustable flow rates from 0.01 to 99.99 mL/h per pump.
- High voltage DC power supply delivering 0 to 30 kV output with selectable constant current or voltage modes and max 1 mA current.
- Included stationary stainless steel plate collector and rotating mandrel collector (76 mm diameter, 200 mm length) with speed control from 1 to 1000 rpm.
- Enclosed fume hood with transparent side walls for process observation, integrated exhaust fan for dehumidification, and humidity monitor (2%–95% RH).
- Multi-nozzle swing fixture with adjustable oscillation distance (0–280 mm) and speed (0–300 mm/min) for uniform fiber deposition.
- Touch screen controller for coordinated control of pump rates, collector rotation, nozzle oscillation, and exhaust fan operation.
