Techan's embedded components and parts enable ultra-micro to large volume support and high-precision liquid dispensing from ultra-slow to high speed.

Cavro's components have been providing innovative and reliable liquid dispensing technology to developers of devices and systems for over 50 years. We have offered solutions to establish robust measurement systems for applications in in vitro diagnostic analysis devices and the field of analytical chemistry. 【Why is it popular worldwide?】 Is your company a specialized manufacturer of micro-dispensing pumps, or are you a manufacturer of devices and systems? Liquid delivery is a core function of analytical devices. To expand reproducibility, sensitivity, and reliable measurement ranges, precise dispensing and liquid delivery adjustments are essential. Can you immediately determine the perfect conditions for liquids of various properties and volumes? Are you planning to invest a lot of time and money to create special pumps? Tekan provides OEM pumps that can quickly determine suitable dispensing conditions for a range from below 1μl to 50ml. Its accuracy has a reproducibility CV of less than 0.05%. Based on our accumulated experience and data, we can advise on suitable liquid delivery and dispensing conditions tailored to your specifications. As a result, many manufacturers of medical devices and analytical instruments have successfully completed high-performance devices and systems in a short period worldwide.
