Fluid Metering’s TRYTON™ Pulseless Nanoliter Pump

Key Takeaways:

• Fluid Metering’s TRYTON™ pulseless nanoliter pump delivers sub-microliter precision with up to 98% stability, eliminating mechanical backlash and reducing reagent waste in life science and diagnostic applications.
• Engineers designing high-accuracy microfluidic dispensing systems benefit from TRYTON’s simplified architecture, minimal moving parts, and compatibility with cytometry, IVD, and biomarker detection workflows.
• For OEMs seeking cost-effective nanoliter dispensing solutions, TRYTON replaces syringe and time-pressure systems with a compact, low-maintenance pump that supports decentralized and point-of-need healthcare innovations.

Sub-Microliter Dispensing and Pulseless Flow Losses Solved Through the TRYTON

Life science applications that require nanoliter resolution dispensing or pulseless flow have losses which new technology can overcome. The enhanced design of the TRYTON Pulseless Nanoliter eliminates redundancies and solves problems across diverse industries requiring precise fluid management. Here, we'll explore how such innovative technology can assist in sub-microliter fluid management.

Exceptional Savings Potential

Assay solutions cost thousands of dollars per liter, sometimes more. Beyond the cost of assay solutions, delivering sub-microliter amounts of fluids in life sciences health sciences or tech industries can require multiple pumps, multiple parts, diverse software, component replacement, maintenance, and more… all very costly to the bottom line!

The TRYTON Pulseless Nanoliter eliminates mechanical backlash by diminishing moving parts to deliver exceptional precision and accuracy over the entire lifecycle of the device/instrument. Greater precision preserves assay solutions which might otherwise be impacted through workaround techniques incorporating "excess" reservoirs managed via software. With fewer moving parts and maintenance reduced, life science and other industries can cut millions in losses.

The TRYTON Pulseless Nanoliter Offsets Mechanical Backlash

The TRYTON enables mechanical backlash elimination through a patent-pending design. Switching directions won't result in backlash that impedes data collection. Particles won't be incidentally circulated multiple times in front of, say, a piece of detection equipment utilizing a laser.

Our patent-pending method has achieved stability metrics up to 98%, and that includes exceptionally precise fluid distribution. The TRYTON's resolution goes as tight as a single microliter, and there are higher theoretical thresholds. The TRYTON has shown promising capabilities at the nanoliter level as well.

Because mechanical backlash has been so efficiently reduced, software designed to account for mechanical limitations is no longer necessary. So, life science partners can replace existing technology without being hampered by associated software.

Notable Applications Across Diverse Industries

One example of a method the TRYTON can more efficiently replace is time pressure dosing. The TRYTON doesn't require a pressurized miniature reservoir with complex, expensive valves, or the maintenance that comes with them. Not only do you save money on equipment, your business can do more than it would be able to otherwise.

As healthcare has become more decentralized in the last three years, TRYTON applications can be exceptionally helpful in following the social shift. Where before, point-of-care solutions were consolidated in a medical facility, the TRYTON technology enables more viable point-of-need solutions at patient residences and other remote locations.

This expands the capability of industries in life sciences, they can more efficiently serve more patients, further expanding patient care. TRYTON doesn't merely reduce costs on the back-end through optimized design it can expand growth potential on the front-end.

The TRYTON allows precision medical solutions without requiring expensive syringe pumps and their associated replacement parts. FMI's patent-pending TRYTON technology provides nanoliter resolution dispensing solutions suited for cytometry applications, invitro diagnostics, research requiring precise particle, cell, or biomarker detection, and even tech-sector companies who need sub-microliter fluid distribution.

TRYTON Produces More Value for Less Cost by Solving Common Problems

Essentially, the TRYTON Pulseless Nanoliter pump solves problems other pumps can't. It does so more efficiently, more cost-effectively, and more reliably – conserving resources both directly and indirectly.
