Drop-on Demand Dispensing - Controlled Printing Free of Clogging
Queen Mary University's newest spin out company, EMdot, has been awarded the 2008 Royal Academy of Engineering ERA Foundation Entrepreneurs prize. This year's winning team - Dr Mark Paine, Dr Matthew Alexander and Dr Katharine Smith - will receive the £40,000 prize fund for their patented drop-on demand dispensing technology.
The team have developed an ingenious system for controlled printing of tiny dots that was free of the clogging problems of inkjet printing. There are many potential applications, but the invention has particular significance for the manufacture of biological microarrays, and the deposition of ultra-small samples for lab-on-a-chip analysis.The team, along with their colleague Prof John Stark, are all co-inventors of the core technology and founders of EMdot, the company they formed to commercialise the technology.
