Abstract

Abstract : Ultramicro-volume syringes are fabricated in microchannels. The minimum of available droplet volume is in increments as low as 0.5 pL with 96% accuracy. Specifically, controllable synthesis of nanocrystals could be produced in a lab-on-chip platform. Abstract : Ultramicro-volume syringes were fabricated by integrating micro-nanostructure arrays in microchannels for quantitatively dispensing sub-picoliter volumes of liquids. Using this system, liquids were dispensed in volume increments as low as 0.5 pL with 96% accuracy. Specifically, the controllable synthesis of nanocrystals was achieved using a lab-on-chip platform that was integrated with the syringes.
