Discrete Femtolitre Pipetting with 3D Printed Axisymmetrical Phaseguides

The capacity to precisely pipette femtoliter volumes of liquid enables many applications, for example, to functionalize a nanoscale surface and manipulate fluids inside a single-cell. A pressure-controlled pipetting method is the most preferred, since it enables the widest range of working liquids. However, precisely controlling femtoliter...

Liquid dosing on the micro-scale: A quest for increased resolution

The processes that take place within cells are complex. Single-cell analysis is a method that is employed to gain further understanding of the working mechanisms on a single-cellular level. The controlled transport of substances through the cell membrane is important for studying the behaviour and responses of single living cells. Femtopipettes...
