Print new usage! American University R & D steam jet printing drugs new technology

Now with the rapid development of printing technology, from 3D printing to metal printing, it can be said that we refresh the understanding of printing technology, and according to the report of the Ministry of Science and Technology, University of Michigan Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Biomedicine, medicine Multidisciplinary researchers such as the College collaborated to develop a new technology that uses organic vapor jet printing electronics to print multiple drugs on a single soluble strip or patch.

According to reports, this method is conducive to those who need to take multiple daily medication for patients and children who do not like to take medicine research work by the US Air Force scientific research office, the National Natural Science Foundation and the Department of Energy's funding, the results published in the "natural · Communication "on.
It is reported that this organic vapor jet printing technique first heats and evaporates the active pharmaceutical ingredient and mixes it with a heated inert gas, usually nitrogen, which condenses on a cooled surface through a nozzle and forms a thin film. The inert gas is dispersed In the air, pure drug concentrations are left without any solvents or additives, and film formation can be precisely controlled by fine-tuning the printing process without the need for any solvents, additives and after-treatment processes.
This new pharmaceutical technology will be used within the pharmaceutical company in the short term to speed up clinical testing with its rapid drug production and is expected to be used in pharmacies or clinics in the future.
