Pack of 10 liquid nozzles chips to create a micro-liquid sheet, using a single fluid. The sheet thickness is in range 2µm to 0.6µm and the width at the reference point is 0.32mm.

Application
These nozzles create free liquid sheets that are excellent targets for surface studies or bulk studies with soft X-rays. The sheets are flat and smooth, making them ideal targets for optical laser pumps or probes. The thickness of the sheet is on a microscale and varies along the sheet with distance from the nozzle. It is largely independent of flow rates, providing stable targets despite pump fluctuations.

Nozzle type
Micro 2N - is a narrow version of Micro 2 which can be used when a smaller sheet width is needed. The more narrow aspect ratio is also useful for running high concentration samples in vacuum to reduce spray from sheet rims. Sheets are in range 2 µm to 0.6 µm in thickness.

Available products 

There are currently three nozzle types available for different sheet thickness needs.

Interfacing
Sheet and converging nozzles both use the same interfacing concept, which is not compatible with other products in the store. Micronit can connect you with a third party that can supply a compatible interfacing tool.

Customer Questions
How do I clean my uncoated chips?
One simple but very effective way to clean a microchip is to flush an alkaline solution through the channels. A solution of 1 M sodium hydroxide in water works well, but a lower concentration might also be sufficient. If traces of the cleaning solution remain inside the chip after cleaning, rinse with water or ammonia. Further, plastic parts should not be exposed to alkaline solutions.To remove particulate matter from your chip, a water bath with ultrasonic agitation can be used, preferably while flushing a watery solution through the channels.Uncoated glass chips can be heated (e.g. 400°C) causing any organic material on the glass surface to degrade. Try to use lower temperatures first because burning the content could make it stick. Make sure you only heat the glass chip and not the plastic parts around it.Concentrated sulfuric acid works well to dissolve organic material, such as fibres, that are difficult to remove with alkaline solutions. Always keep in mind that you are working with extremely corrosive material. Please note that this instruction is focused on the chip itself, PEEK elements like connectors are not so compatible with strong sulforic acid.   Please note that chips that were coated by Micronit have different guidelines for cleaning!
How can I interface with the sheet/converging nozzles?
The sheet/coverging nozzles requires interfacing from a third party (neptune) or design of your interfacing tool.Contact data of Neptuen are: Trevor McQueen, PhD.
