The DM-701 and DM-501 are the most flexible and popular models that are widely used for research and development and quality control purposes. They are upgradable with several software or accessories to extend the capability of each model, and even with customization for special applications.

DM – 701 High end model, fully automated system with computer controlled stage and dispenser

  • Applicable sample size is up to 150mm x 150mm.
  • Computer controlled stage and dispenser perform measurements of multiple points automatically with single command.
  • Even advancing/receding angle measurements by the extension/contraction method and the sliding method (option) allow measurement of multiple points automatically with single command.

 

DM-501, Computer controlled dispenser with manual movement stage

  • Applicable sample size is up to 150mm x 150mm.
  • Computer controlled automatic dispenser discharges precise volume of droplet in 0.1µL resolution.
  • Applicable to wide variety of optional accessories to extend the capability.
