Laboratory equipment for your own experimental work

State‑of-the‑art equipment for experimental work and product development

Since our laboratory equipment uses the same Nanospider™ needle‑free electrospinning technology used in our industrial production lines, your experimental work and research can be readily transferred to industrial production equipment which aides in commercializing your ideas.

NS LAB - available as part of your laboratory

State‑of-the‑art equipment for experimental work and product development

NS LAB is compact and affordable laboratory electrospinning equipment which allows for efficient nanofiber research, development of new nanofibrous products, and experimental nanomaterial work

For Materials Science

Membrane research
Experimental research

NS LAB is a compact and affordable research tool. It is based on Nanospider™ technology, just like our industrial lines. This makes research done at the NS LAB easily transferable to an industrial scale.

WITH THE LINEA line WITH THE INFINITY line

Industrial camera set

NS LAB can be equipped with an industrial camera, which offers a detailed view of the formation of nanofiber jets on a string electrode. This enables quantitative image analysis of process specifications related to Nanospider™ technology. The camera can be used with shadow or reflection sensing methods.

Specifications that can be analyzed:

Nanofibers formation
Density of Taylor cones and their geometry
Distance between individual jets
Thickness and frequency of deposition of a thin layer of solution on a string electrode

Camera specificatons:

Resolution 1 px = 12 μm and higher
Exposure time 50 μs and higher
Frame rate up to 500 frames/s (or 180 frames/s at full HD resolution)

NS LAB functions and recommended use

Designed to enable basic materials and application research. Various polymers can be used for electrospinning on the NS LAB equipment, thereby producing a wide range of synthetic, organic and biodegradable nanofibers.

Perfect for exploring

NS LAB is ideal for membrane research, air filtration, liquid filtration, medicine and many other applications.

Unique material

The material produced has high air permeability and uniformity compared to needle technologies.

Everything under control

Allows control of all process parameters (voltage, substrate speed, die size, application head speed, wire distance from the substrate, etc.)

Batch operation

Depending on the process settings, operating time ranges from 40 to 100 min with a single dose of 50 ml of solution. If needed, we also offer 10 ml and 100 ml containers.
