Demonstration on Micro Drop Dispensing at UCC by PolyPico

Certainly! Here’s an expanded and engaging blog post based on the original announcement from PolyPico’s 2014 demonstration, with additional context and relevance for today’s readers:


PolyPico Demonstrates Cutting-Edge Micro Drop Dispensing Technology at University College Cork

PolyPico Technologies, a leader in precision microdispensing systems, held a live demonstration of its award-winning micro drop dispensing technology at University College Cork (UCC). The event offered researchers, engineers, and students a close-up look at how PolyPico’s innovative system delivers ultra-low volume droplets with ultra-high precision—capabilities that are transforming the fields of life sciences, diagnostics, materials science, and beyond.

High Precision, Low Volume: A Game-Changer for Research

The technology showcased is capable of dispensing droplets in the picoliter to nanoliter range—without physical contact. This means reduced contamination risk, lower sample consumption, and exceptional repeatability. These features are particularly valuable for applications such as:

  • Cell and tissue printing
  • High-throughput screening
  • Biological assays
  • DNA and protein microarrays
  • Drug discovery and delivery research

What sets PolyPico’s technology apart is its ability to control droplet size and volume with extreme accuracy while maintaining flexibility across a wide range of fluid viscosities. This versatility allows users to adapt the system to various workflows without the need for reconfiguration or replacement of dispensing heads.

Bridging Academia and Innovation

By demonstrating the system at UCC, PolyPico reaffirmed its commitment to supporting academic research and fostering collaboration between industry and academia. The demonstration not only highlighted the system’s technical capabilities but also provided a platform for researchers to discuss practical challenges and explore custom solutions for their specific needs.

Students and faculty had the opportunity to see real-time microdispensing in action and engage directly with the PolyPico team. This hands-on experience is invaluable, especially for emerging scientists who are eager to apply cutting-edge tools in their experiments.

A Vision for the Future

Since its inception, PolyPico has focused on delivering microdispensing solutions that enhance accuracy, reduce waste, and streamline experimental workflows. The demonstration at UCC marked another step toward that vision—empowering researchers to push the boundaries of science with tools that match their ambition.

As life sciences and material science applications grow more complex and precise, technologies like PolyPico’s will continue to play a critical role in enabling groundbreaking discoveries.
