iZERO – In Line Automated
The iZERO encapsulates the unique value of M2-Automation’s technology, contained within a fully flexible, scalable, and highly automated production environment. Without the need to change or reprogram the entire setting during production, the remote-controlled software handles a variety of different products and protocols with ease.
From a few dozen to several thousand targets produced per day, this in-line-production microarray-spotter system reduces the changeover time to a minimum, while maximizing its productive capacity. This makes it the obvious choice to spot your future!
The iZERO can operate all Microdispensers from the M2-Family.

Scalable
Starting with a single iZERO unit, M2-Automation’s extendable production line is able to address all needs, ranging from an early pilot phase to automated, well-engineered production.
Reel-to-Reel Applications
The iZERO architecture allows for pass-through of materials to be spotted. This can be from a conveyor belt, or from a reel.
A common reel-to-reel application is for the production of multiplex lateral-flow devices. A multi-channel print head can spot the membrane at varying speeds.
Other applications include spotting on flexible circuits, such as those used in wearable sensors.
