Hi,

I am looking to print various types of liquids to realise microfluidics
structures (channels). I first thought about using a conventional inkjet printer
however it is not possible to control the volume of fluid dispensed and it will
not work with viscous liquids. The other solution would be to use a versatile
micro array printer (such as the one I found at www.gesim.de) but in this case
it will only print droplets (of course you can have the droplets to overlap so
that in the end you obtain a channel..) however this piece of equipment is not
appropriate to print channels as you have to program the coordinates of each
drop you want to print.

Would anyone know of a system that would work like a "normal" inkjet printer and
that would allow me to print microfluidics channels on various flat substrates?

Thanks very much,


Jérôme
