Objective
The main objective of our project is to design a manufacturing process capable of mass producing spotters. The spotter will be able to produce 192 spots and will conform to 96 well plate technology.
Project Summary
As of September 12 2005 the design goal of the Microfluidic Spotter has been modified. Formerly the goal of the project was to design a spotter that made 400 spots with uniform spot density through innovative design and revolutionary channel geometries. The new objective is to design a manufacturing process capable of mass producing tens of thousands of 192 spot capability spotters for less than a dollar each which are compatible with current 96 well plate technologies. The new goal focuses on the difficulty of designing a process which can be put into operation to create a commercialized product. The process must be profitable with the ability to adjust new designs and technologies. The modification of our project goals has set us back a little bit but with some diligent work and effort our team should be where we need to be throughout the semester.
