jetlab 4xl-B
Print Station with
Ultra Micro-Balance
Product Description
For applications that require verifiable precision,
such as the creation of printed standards for
explosives detectors, the jetlab® 4xl-B integrates
an ultra micro-balance with a jetlab® 4xl Printing
Platform. The printhead may be positioned
either over the X-Y stages for printing or over
the balance for weight measurements. All
balance measurement and reporting functions
are under the control of the system software.
Weight measurement results can be used in the
program to control printing of arrays/filled
rectangles, including fully automated printing
using the standard scripting technology of
jetlab® print stations. Target substrates or
objects of up to 50 mm height are supported.

Available Options
CCD camera for substrate observation; heated
substrate and / or printhead; Polymer Jet™ and
custom printheads; image analysis routines for
substrate alignment and drop analysis; computer
controlled pressure/vacuum regulator.

Standard Features
All of the standard features of the jetlab® 4 are
included, plus an increased 250x275 mm²
substrate size.
The ultra micro-balance provides a readout
resolution of 0.1 µg, repeatability of 0.25 µg,
and total load capacity of 2.1 g (gross weight
including boat). A special enclosure limits the
evaporation rate. Together with evaporation
compensation algorithms allows mass
measurements to better than 1% accuracy.
Within scripts, printing of arrays can be defined
with a specified total mass and conditioned on
stability criteria for the measurements of droplet
mass and evaporation.
