Her, præsenterede vi et nyt design for en sprøjten pumpesystem med lukket kredsløb trykregulering. Dette blev opnået ved at integrere en 3D-trykt sprøjten pumpe med et piezoresistiv pres sensor og en open source microcontroller. Ved at ansætte en PID-controller, var vi i stand til præcist styre indgangstrykket og give hurtige svartider samtidig samtidig opretholde stabilitet om et sæt punkt.

Mikrofluid værktøjer er blevet nyttig for videnskabsmænd i biologisk og kemisk forskning. På grund af lav lydstyrke udnyttelse, hurtig måling kapaciteter og veldefinerede flow profiler, mikrofluidik har fået trækkraft i genomisk og proteom forskning, high throughput screening, medicinsk diagnostik, nanoteknologi og encellede analyse1,2,3,4. Derudover muliggør fleksibilitet af mikrofluid enhed design let grundlæggende videnskabsforskning, som undersøger spatiotemporelle dynamikken i kulturperler bakteriel kolonier5.
Mange typer af væske indsprøjtning systemer er udviklet til at præcist levere strøm til mikrofluid enheder. Eksempler på sådanne benzinindsprøjtningssystemer peristaltiske og recirkulation pumper6, pres-controller systemer7og sprøjte pumper8. Disse indsprøjtning systemer, herunder sprøjte pumper, er ofte sammensat af dyre præcision manipuleret komponenter. Forstærke disse systemer med lukket kredsløb feedback kontrol af trykket i output flow øger prisen på disse systemer. Svar udviklet vi tidligere har et robust og billigt sprøjten pumpesystem, der bruger lukket kredsløb feedback kontrol for at regulere outputted flow pres. Ved hjælp af lukkede kredsløb trykregulering, er behovet for dyre præcision-manipuleret komponenter ophævet9.
Kombination af overkommelig 3D-udskrivning hardware og en betydelig vækst i tilknyttede open source software har gjort design og fabrikation af mikrofluid enheder i stigende grad tilgængelige for forskere fra en lang række discipliner10. De systemer, der anvendes til kørsel væske gennem disse enheder er dog stadig dyrt. For at imødegå dette behov for en billig flydende kontrolsystem, udviklet vi et design, der kan være fremstillet af forskere i laboratoriet, der kræver kun et lille antal forsamlingen trinene. Trods sin lave omkostninger og ligetil forsamling, dette system kan give præcise flow-styringen og udgør et alternativ til kommercielt tilgængelige, lukket kredsløb sprøjten pumpesystemer, som kan være uoverkommeligt dyre.
Her, vi leverer protokoller for konstruktionen og brugen af det lukkede kredsløb kontrolleres sprøjten pumpesystem vi udviklet (figur 1). Væsken håndtering system består af en fysisk sprøjten pumpe inspireret af et tidligere studie11, en microcontroller og et piezoresistiv pres sensor. Når samlet og programmeret med en proportional-integral-derivat (PID) controller, er systemet i stand til at levere en velreguleret, pres-drevet strøm til mikrofluid enheder. Dette giver en billig og fleksibel alternativ til høje omkostninger kommercielle produkter, gør det muligt for en bredere gruppe af forskere at bruge mikrofluidik i deres arbejde.

three-dimensional printing of thermoplastic materials to create automated syringe pumps with feedback control for microfluidic applications

Mikrofluidik er blevet et kritisk værktøj i forskning på tværs af biologiske, kemiske og fysiske videnskaber. En vigtig del af mikrofluid eksperimenter er en stabil væske håndtering system præcist levere et indløb strømningshastighed eller indgangstryk. Her har vi udviklet en sprøjten pumpesystem i stand til at kontrollere og regulere væske indgangstryk leveret til en mikrofluid enhed. Dette system blev udviklet ved hjælp af lave omkostninger materialer og tilsætningsstof fremstillingsindustrien principper, løftestangsvirkningen tredimensionale (3D) udskrivning af termoplastiske materialer og off-the-shelf komponenter når det er muligt. Dette system består af tre hovedkomponenter: en sprøjten pumpe, en tryktransduceren og en programmerbar microcontroller. I dette papir detalje vi et sæt protokoller for bearbejdning, montage og programmering denne sprøjten pumpesystem. Desuden har vi medtaget repræsentative resultater, der viser high-fidelity, feedback kontrol af indgangstryk ved hjælp af dette system. Vi forventer, at denne protokol giver forskere til at fabrikere lavpris-sprøjten pumpesystemer, sænker adgangsbarriere for brug af mikrofluidik i biomedicinsk, kemiske og materialeforskning.

Her præsenterer vi en protokol for opførelsen af en feedback-kontrollerede sprøjten pumpe system og demonstrere dets potentielle anvendelsesmuligheder for mikrofluid programmer. Figur 1 viser den tilsluttet system af sprøjten pumpe, tryksensor, mikrofluid enhed, microcontroller, pres sensor kredsløb og stepper motor driver. Detaljerede billedforklaringer til sprøjte brændstofpumpen samling er vist i figur 2 og den elektron...
