Specifically, Mfps cannot be easily produced on demand due to their complex
fabrication procedures, and are expensive to make in large quantities because of their assembly procedures.
D printers provide a simple, rapid,
and low-cost technique for fabricating Mfps,” said Assistant Professor of Mechanical
and Biomedical Engineering Mohammad Qasaimeh, whose team developed a framework to print microfluidic probes and quadrupoles in 3D.
It's cheaper to produce, easy to scale up or down, and fast to fabricate- all steps, from design to product, can be made in less than a day,” he explained, and as a result,“any science lab with a moderate resolution stereolithography printer
will be able to fabricate 3D Mfps on demand and use them to process cells reliably.”.
