3D-printed bioanalytical devices

Abstract: While 3D printing technologies first appeared in the 1980s, prohibitive costs, limited materials, and the relatively small number of commercially available printers confined applications mainly to prototyping for manufacturing purposes. As technologies, printer cost, materials, and accessibility continue to improve, 3D printing has found widespread implementation in research and development in many disciplines due to ease-of-use and relatively fast design-to-object workflow. Several 3D printing techniques have… Show more

“…The possibility of 3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing (AM)) bespoke biologically receptive parts, has driven the increasing application of AM technologies in biological systems. Techniques such as fused deposition modeling (FDM), photopolymerization processes such as stereolithography (SL) and PolyJet printing, in addition to powder‐based particle consolidation laser sintering (LS) technology have all previously been utilized to provide devices/scaffolds for bioengineering . However, the numerous advantages of AM, including design freedom and rapid production without molds or tooling, are currently offset by a lack of fully characterized biocompatible materials …”

“…It has been used to print fluidic devices that detect pathogenic bacteria, biomedical markers, food allergens, and heavy metals, as well as in nanoparticle and chemical synthesis. 5,6 3-D printed flow cells were designed for microdroplet generation, electrochemical sensing, and microfluidic devices. 7 We used desktop 3-D printers to develop devices for flow injection amperometry, flow cells to measure ECL, 8 and microfluidic immunoarrays to detect cancer biomarker proteins.…”

“…The manufacturing of microfluidic devices by 3D‐printing technologies has been extensively explored mainly for bioanalytical analysis , due to their capacity of processing small volumes of sample and the possibility to design personalized devices for each application . Despite the remarkable advantages of these devices, their performance depends on a suitable flow control system, which can be a syringe pump, a pressure controller, valves, capillary or vacuum.…”
