SMARTDROP® System
Precision Droplet Control
Harness high-speed bright-field imaging combined with intelligent software, SMARTDROP delivers non-contact, real-time volume calibration and droplet validation to deliver precise liquid characterization that supports accurate results across applications.
How It's Used
SMARTDROP enables real-time droplet measurement, volume calibration, and liquid characterization for precise, reproducible liquid handling workflows.
SMARTDROP System
High-Speed Droplet Measurement for Liquid Characterization
SMARTDROP captures droplets mid-flight using a high-performance camera with swift shutter speed and adjustable trigger delay. This ensures precise imaging from droplet breakoff to full flight, enabling accurate volume calibration and advanced liquid characterization in automated liquid handling workflows.
Automated, Non-Contact Volume Calibration
SMARTDROP features intelligent software algorithms that automatically calibrate droplet volumes and eliminate satellite formation. The non-contact optical imaging process ensures clean, consistent, and contamination-free dispensing—critical for high-precision workflows in pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and microfluidic applications.
Flexible Integration and Kit Availability
Easily integrated into PIPEJET, SIJET, and Hamilton's automated liquid handling systems, SMARTDROP also supports OEM and custom dispensing setups. For rapid deployment, it’s available as a plug-and-play Kit—ideal for labs and integrators seeking fast setup and reliable real-time droplet validation.
