Embodiment Construction

[0020] Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments of the invention, these specific embodiments are illustrative only and not restrictive. Although the present invention is primarily concerned with apparatus, systems and methods for printing biomaterials and related features on substrates for medical diagnosis, embodiments are not limited thereto. For example, the printing apparatus and methods discussed in this specification can be used in a variety of different applications that require depositing otherwise similar extremely small features on polymeric substrates. Exemplary applications include printing certain reflective materials or mirrors on polymeric substrates for optical applications.

[0021] For clarity, some well-known components, such as computers, hard drives, processors, operating systems, user interfaces, power supplies, printhead flex circuits, etc., have been omitted from some of the figures. However, one skilled in the a...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for printing one or more desired features on a polymeric substrate. In an example embodiment, the method includes receiving an ink that includes a bio-reactive indicator material, and employing a piezoelectric printhead to deposit the ink on a polymeric substrate. The polymer substrate with the ink deposited thereon represents a diagnostic testing device for performing a test on a material sample. The method further includes employing Ultra Violet (UV) light to cure the ink. The ink may include an electrically conductive material. A UV light source may be coupled to a piezoelectric printhead and actuated in response to a control signal from a controller to facilitate curing materials deposited on the polymeric substrate.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 153535, filed February 18, 2009, entitled "LOW COST, HIGH SPEED METHOD FOR PRINTING BIO-MATERIAL ONTO POLYMERIC MATERIALS," which for all purposes The entire content of the application is incorporated in this specification by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to printing, and more particularly to systems and methods for printing features on polymeric substrates, such as structures including biomaterials for diagnostic medical testing. Background technique [0004] Systems and methods for producing features on polymeric substrates are used in a variety of demanding applications including the creation of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical tests, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices, for the analysis of deoxygenation Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of ribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences, ...
