Through the Eye of a Needle - Labcyte Awarded U. S. Patent Describing the Acoustic Transfer of Droplets into Small Openings

Nov 5, 2008 - Labcyte Inc., the pioneer in 'touchless' acoustic transfer of liquids, announces the issuance of U.S. Patent 7,405,395 which exploits the unique advantages of using sound to move liquids. This patent describes the acoustic transfer of fluid droplets into openings less than 300 microns in diameter. "We have exquisite capabilities for directing a droplet exactly to where we want it," said Chief Technical Officer, Richard Ellson. "We can easily direct a droplet of almost any liquid into an extremely small opening or lay it onto a complex surface such as a stent. We have been able to position droplets with better than 10 micron accuracy.
