Triaxial spinneret for electrospinning

Three concentric flow paths for combining three materials in nano- and microfibers. Interchangeable needles let you choose a configuration for the materials and solution viscosities you use.

Interchangeable needle combinations

The three-layer head combines polymer streams with different properties in a concentric structure. For suitable formulations, a more readily spinnable inner material can support a less-spinnable outer material. Needle combinations can be changed to suit the formulation.

Disassemble the head for cleaning

The stainless-steel internal assembly can be fully disassembled so each component is accessible for cleaning. The small internal cavity limits the solution retained in the head.

Control needle offset and head position

Elongated needles concentrate the electric field at the tip. The inner-to-outer needle-tip height difference is adjustable up to 1.5 mm. The insulating fixture adjusts the spinning angle and height. Standard Luer connections, a high-voltage socket and plug, and concentric needle alignment support setup.
