SonoPlot, Inc. today announced that it has significantly upgraded it’s Microplotter hardware and software platform for better performance and additional versatility.

SonoPlot’s GIX Microplotter instruments use innovative controlled ultrasonics to print microcircuitry or deposit high-density grids of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins or living cells. The products are designed to print a wide range of biomolecules and polymers and push beyond the limits of existing technologies for printing smaller, more consistent and well-shaped spots, lines and arcs.

Some of the enhancements include a HD camera for visual inspection and recording, an upgraded controlling computer for better performance and upgraded software functionality, allowing the users to very quickly draw or import and print designs to their specifications.

“The enhancements to our platform provide our users with ability to deposit inks and biomaterials not possible with other units”, stated Brad Larson, SonoPlot’s CTO. “We strongly believe in continually updating our products to meet the demanding needs of these growing markets.”
