Complete entry point Everything needed to start producing aligned nanofibers, rotary collector included. The natural choice if you do not already own an electrospinning setup. The Electrospinning Starter Kit for aligned nanofibers delivers everything you need in one package - station hood, 40-60 kV generator, syringe pump, rotary collector, needles, syringes and supports.
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.
