Spinspray starter kit
Discover the Power of Electrospinning & Electrospraying with the SpinSpray Starter Kit
Electrospinning and electrospraying are cutting-edge, high-voltage techniques that enable the creation of advanced materials from polymer solutions. With the SpinSpray Starter Kit, you can effortlessly explore both processes to produce continuous fibers or fine droplets—each offering unique properties for a variety of applications.
How It Works:
Prepare Your Polymer Solution:
Begin by mixing your chosen synthetic or natural polymer with a compatible solvent, then load the solution into a syringe.Precise Flow Control:
Secure the syringe on our high voltage-compatible syringe pump. Adjust the flow rate to ensure the optimal delivery of your solution, whether you’re aiming for fiber formation or droplet generation.High Voltage Activation:
Apply a fixed high voltage to the liquid solution. Under this intense electric field, the polymers are charged:- For Electrospinning: The charged polymers are stretched into ultra-fine, continuous fibers ranging from nanometers to micrometers in diameter.
- For Electrospraying: The solution is broken up into fine droplets, ideal for creating coatings or nanoparticle assemblies.
Collection:
The resulting fibers or droplets are collected on our flat plate collector with adjustable height, allowing you to easily analyze and utilize the materials produced.
The SpinSpray Starter Kit is your complete, user-friendly solution for delving into both electrospinning and electrospraying. Whether you’re focused on research, educational projects, or innovative development, our kit provides everything you need to unlock the potential of advanced material fabrication.
SpinSpray Starter Kit is fully integrated.

Safety
Your safety is paramount and rigorous safety practices must be enforced to ensure your safety when working with high voltage.
This power supply produces high voltages and stores energy that is hazardous. Physical contact with the high voltage output may result in life-threatening or fatal injury.
Before you turn on the high voltage power supply, always confirm first that the dial indicators are turned fully in the counter-clockwise direction and confirm the turn counting indicator reads 0.
Visually inspect the high voltage output connector and any high voltage connections for unintended touching or electrical shorts.
Always keep a safe distance from the test equipment and apparatus or system under test.
Do not touch connections unless the high voltage power supply is off and capacitors are completely discharged. Allow five minutes for the high voltage power supply internal capacitors to discharge. Also, make sure the load capacitance is discharged.
Be extra cautious of any high voltage connections that are exposed. Such live terminals should be shielded and barriers must be provided to prevent accidental contact.
Proper grounding is very important. High voltage power supplies must always be grounded. Ensure that a secure ground connection is made between the high voltage power supply and earth ground.
All ungrounded terminals of the test equipment or apparatus under test should be considered as energized.
The work area for the HV power supply should be kept clean. It is important to put away unnecessary parts and components and to keep them far away from the test area.
The general work area around the HV power supply and high voltage connections must be kept dry.
Do not ground yourself or work under wet or damp conditions.
Always consult with your organization’s health and safety expert.
