Inkjet technology has significant advantages across a wide range of biomedical applications. These include variable drop size, high precision in positioning, disposable and economical printheads, and drop on demand feature. Moreover, inkjet is a non-contact printing process, making it ideal for fragile substrates.
Benefits of inkjet technology
- Short set-up times and low set-up costs make short runs economical
- Low running costs enable you to print economically at all run lengths
- Place materials in precise quantities and position, greatly reducing ink, water and energy usage
- Print on demand reduces stock levels significantly
- Non-contact process enables printing onto fragile substrates
- Ability to print onto variable X-Y-Z axis (3D surfaces) makes it possible to print various surfaces
- Disposable inkjet printheads and cartridges can minimize the risk of infection
Applications including
- Aroma Jetting
- Drug Delivery
- Microarrays
- Microdispensing
- Biosensors
- Diagnostic chips
