Article Synopsis
  • Auto-injectors typically require refrigeration, and if not warmed, they may not deliver the full drug dose due to their mechanical design not compensating for changes in drug viscosity.
  • A new piezoelectric micro diaphragm pump has been developed to effectively deliver high-viscosity liquids (up to 25 mPa·s) using a specialized design, achieving fluid pressures of up to 368 kPa.
  • Experimental results show that this micropump can produce maximum flow rates of 2 mL/min through 27G needles, paving the way for more advanced auto-injectors capable of handling thick medications.

The automated transport of cells can enable far-reaching cell culture research. However, to date, such automated transport has been achieved with large pump systems that often come with long fluidic connections and a large power consumption. Improvement is possible with space- and energy-efficient piezoelectric micro diaphragm pumps, though a precondition for a successful use is to enable transport with little to no mechanical stress on the cell suspension.
