micro liquid delivery system
Hey guys, new user old reader here
 wondering if you guys could recommend me some stuff. I am after a complete off the shelf micro liquid delivery system which can provide liquid flow in the micro scale.. any suggestions would be much appreciated. Miles |

http://www.graco.com/Internet/T_PDB..../LiquidControl We use them for epoxy mixing and vacuum encapsulation applications on the scale of a few grams per shot, but I know they go smaller. I don't know how far down they go in scale, but it's worth checking out their website and giving them a call. |

I can't help wondering whether or not ink-jet printer technology could be adapted to this purpose.

micro liquid delivery system
There's a company that several of my friends work for that makes something like that:
http://www.micralyne.com/capabilitie...ts/toolkit.htm Or are you just looking for something like a pipetter? I use one that's good down to 1 uL, but I think you might be able to find better: http://www.fishersci.com/wps/portal/...oductId=768966 EDIT: If the former, the entire field is called microfluidics; the most commercialized of which is, as Danger inferred, inkjet printing. Also, this article might be of interest to you (depending on your application): http://www.aip.org/tip/INPHFA/vol-9/iss-4/p14.html |

thank you very much for the replies guys!
this system will be implemented towards drug delivery and lab on a chip type applications! |

There was also a fellow featured in SciAm a few years back who had adapted a Braille printer to act as a microfluidic valve system. I can't remember the specifics, but it might be worth investigating.

danger, yes you are correct inkjet printers work on a similar scale but it seems that not many people have used these systems for other applications..

The article is for purchase however. |
