Aluminum vertical support to fasten a rigid or flexible flat collector in front of the needle, for every static electrospinning application. STABLE WORKSPACE WITH REPEATABLE GEOMETRIES The vertical support holds rigid or flexible flat collectors in position in front of the needle. Made of aluminum, it features perforations to install it on the modular support plates with dedicated screws, for a secure, stable hold that guarantees accurate and repeatable geometries over time. The aluminum support makes the electric field uniform and also enables the use of dielectric collectors such as films and polymer networks. SPECIFICATIONS - 100×150 mm — 3 mm thickness - 200×200 mm — 3 mm thickness - 200×300 mm — 5 mm thickness - 200×400 mm — 5 mm thickness - 300×300 mm — 5 mm thickness FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Aluminum or Plexiglas vertical support? Aluminum makes the field uniform and suits most setups, including dielectric collectors. Choose the Plexiglas (dielectric) version when you need to concentrate the field on a small conductive collector and avoid fibers being attracted to surrounding metal. How does it mount? It bolts onto any Linari modular support plate via the M6 hole grid, keeping the needle-collector distance fixed and repeatable.
Wire drum collector designed to produce very thin, easy-to-peel nanofiber mats. MINIMAL CONTACT POINTS FOR EASY FIBER RELEASE The wire construction minimizes the contact points between fibers and drum. With few contact points you can easily peel your nanofiber mats, even at very low thickness where a solid drum would make the delicate fibers stick and tear. Made of high-resistance hollow aluminum, weight and moment of inertia are reduced to the minimum, allowing high rotation speeds without triggering dangerous vibrations — so you also get aligned fibers along the wire direction. SPECIFICATIONS - Outer wire diameter: 80 mm - Grip diameter: 10 mm - Wire length: 120 mm - Wire diameter: 3 mm - Number of wires: 12 COMPATIBILITY Compatible with our Easy Drum rotary system. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS When should I use a wire drum instead of a solid drum? Choose the wire drum when your nanofiber mat is very thin and delicate: the reduced contact area lets you peel it off intact. A solid aluminum drum is better for thicker mats and continuous surfaces. Does the wire drum align the fibers? Yes — at high rotation speed the fibers align along the wires, and the gaps between wires enhance alignment compared with a full surface.

The two solutions were fed through plastic tubing from separate syringe pumps into a coaxial needle (Linari Engineering, Pisa, Italy) at controlled flow rates - the core-shell configuration that allows one material to be enclosed within another during spinning.
