If you are trying to dispense tiny amounts of fluid (typically 10 microliters or less), accuracy is one of the most crucial elements you need in a fluidic system. If your pump is consistently imprecise, you will see dispense volumes widely scattered around your desired target.

As an engineer, having a way to dispense fluids through a non-contact tip in medical diagnostic and other devices could potentially be not only life changing, but life-saving. The current options for dispensing require contact- mostly consisting of a submerged tip or use of the touch off method. Neither of these options are desirable due to either cross contamination possibility, non-repeatability, or lack of accuracy. An ideal method to solve this issue would be a pump with non-contact dispensing capabilities.
