Title:
バイオ流体を吐出する多重エジェクタシステム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4028716
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A multiple-ejector system for printing arrays of biofluids include a tooling plate having a plurality of sets of tooling pins extending outward from the surface of the tooling plate. A printed circuit board is provided having pairs of power connection pins and ground return pins extending from a surface of the circuit board. A plurality of biofluid drop ejection units are provided and include alignment grooves and at least a transducer. Each of the plurality of biofluid drop ejection units are connected to a corresponding one of a set of tooling pins by connection of the tooling pins and alignment grooves. The power connection pins of the pairs are in operational connection with respective transducers and the ground return connection pins of the pairs are in operational connection with a body portion of the drop ejection units. The different drop ejection units will contain different biofluids which are to be emitted onto a substrate. Verification of drop ejection units containing biofluids, may be obtained in one embodiment through the use of an optical scanner. Detection of drops at defined locations provides a verification that validates a properly formed spot is present on a substrate, and is in the correct position.
