Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Elmarco NS LAB?

Elmarco NS LAB is laboratory electrospinning equipment designed for nanofiber research, experimental studies, and early-stage product development. It is a compact and cost-effective system based on Elmarco’s Nanospider™ needle-free electrospinning technology.

What is the advantage of Nanospider™ needle-free electrospinning?

Nanospider™ is a free-surface, needle-free electrospinning technology that generates nanofibers from a polymer layer exposed to a strong electric field. Compared to traditional needle-based systems, it enables more uniform nanofiber layers and provides a clearer path for scaling laboratory results to industrial production.

Which applications is NS LAB suitable for?

NS LAB is suitable for a wide range of research and development activities, including membrane research, air and liquid filtration, technical textiles, polymer materials science, and biomedical or life-science related nanomaterial studies.

Can results from NS LAB be scaled up to industrial electrospinning?

Yes. NS LAB uses the same electrospinning principle as Elmarco’s industrial Nanospider™ production lines. This allows process parameters, material behavior, and nanofiber structures developed in the laboratory to be transferred more easily to pilot or industrial-scale systems.

What types of materials can be processed on NS LAB?

NS LAB can be configured to work with a wide range of polymer solutions, including synthetic, organic, and biodegradable materials, supporting both fundamental research and application-driven development.

Which process parameters can be controlled?

The system allows control over key electrospinning parameters such as applied voltage, substrate speed, electrode-to-substrate distance, and application head settings, enabling systematic optimization of nanofiber morphology and layer properties.

Is NS LAB suitable for batch operation and experimental studies?

Yes. NS LAB is designed for batch-based laboratory operation, making it well suited for formu
