Abstract

Opportunities and Challenges of Low Volume (nL) and Ultra-low Volume (pL) Dispensing in Development and Production of POC Devices

Chris Fronczek, Director, Applications Development, BioDot

As assay reagent volumes are being reduced while production throughput is increasing, low volume dispensing continues to be a critical piece in the POC industry, at both the R&D and manufacturing level. Multiple reagents dispensed in pL or nL volumes onto hundreds of parts can require thousands of precise movements. In this talk I will discuss realistic considerations for low and ultra-low volume dispensing with highlights for recent case studies and manufacturing applications.
