Dual Resolution Syringe

The Dual Resolution Syringe is a unique and stunning invention that substitutes for a conventional 3 cm syringe in a syringe drive to give it much greater range, better precision and accuracy at low volumes, and the ability to deliver contact -free and therefore contamination-free.  The extraordinary volume and flow rate range enables multi-channel liquid-handling systems to do things and execute applications that they cannot do with conventional syringes.

The DRS 15/300 model shown (DRD PN 81324-112) has a top plunger with a 1/4-28 thread and adapters to fit directly into a Cavro XP-3000 type syringe drive, giving maximum Differential and Single mode volumes of 15 µL and 300 µL. Not shown is the Hamilton equivalent, the DRS 18/340 or DRS  20/300 (DRD PN 81324-212), whose top plunger is the Luer and flange design that fits directly into a Hamilton PSD/4 type syringe drive, with the slightly different volumes shown. 

The engineering specifications most relevant to an OEM customer looking to integrate it are shown in the Concept / Specifications sheets that are brought up by the links to the models referenced above. The BROCHURE / FLYER of one of the models gives a good overview. An excellent user manual is available that contains everything needed to integrate it via command codes or other approaches.

If you wish to enjoy a short movie that dives into a jungle pool with Tarzan and Jane, and thoroughly educates you to the performance of the DRS at the same time, watch our 2.5 minute Impact Movie. There is also a 10 minute BASIC STORY movie that goes into more detail and has a longer jungle swim (and a better shot of the lion) in which the qualities of this extraordinary piece of technology are further anthropomorphized.

Dual Resolution Syringe Model 15/300

is shown substituting for 5 of the 8 syringes in an 8-channel liquid handler that uses Cavro XP3000 type syringe drives. The top white plunger screws directly into the valve. The enormously enhanced capabilities of each of the 5 substituted channels are reflected in the Concept Sheet and Brochure/Flyer. Capabilities in live running systems are vividly shown in the 2.5 minute Impact Movie and the 10 minute BASIC STORY movie shown below.

Part of this informative movie was filmed on-site way far away from laboratories.

Dual Resolution Syringe BASIC STORY Movie

This 10 minute BASIC STORY movie mainly tells the Dual Resolution Syringe story — more broadly and in more detail than in the 2.75 minute Impact Movie. It also has a few other things, highlights of which are:

0:34 – 1:36 “And here is what it (with Titan) can do”
2:27 – 4:48 H20 glass explanation of displacement
7:01 – 8:10 NEPTUNE96
8:55 – 10:00 Famous jungle swim and lion
