Designed for sample preparation, the pumps are suitable for automated laboratory applications such as dispensing and collecting samples and reagents. The self-priming unit accommodates 0.1- liter to ...

An innovative micro-pump makes it possible for tiny quantities of liquid -- such as medicines -- to be dosed accurately and flexibly. Active composites and an electronic control mechanism ensure that ...

Mass spectrometers are extremely precise chemical analyzers that have many applications, from evaluating the safety of drinking water to detecting toxins in a patient’s blood. But building an ...

This paper presents a pump using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gel. PVC gels are compliant, have a simple structure, and exhibit large deformation at voltages in the range of 100–1000 V, which make them ...

Achieving precise, localized drug delivery within the brain remains a major challenge due to the restrictive nature of the blood–brain barrier and the risk of systemic toxicity. Here, we present a ...

This release is available in German. Medicines sometimes have to be administered in extremely small quantities. Just a few tenths of a milliliter may be sufficient to give the patient the ideal ...
