Short description (English)

Pipetting system with flowsensor and microelement for passive flow control

Abstract (German)

In time-pressure based dispensing systems, which are simple and virtually free of wearable parts, the actual amount of liquid aspirated and dispensed is strongly influenced by the viscosity of the liquid and the geometry of the dispensing-nozzle. Within this project a demonstrator will be realized which should enable reproducible dispensing for a wide range of viscosities and tip geometries by the addition of a passive microelement into the pipetting path.
