Abstract

Drop-On-Demand (DOD) printing technology has been applied across various fields. Flexibility and efficient use of printing material attract applications where object accretion layer-by-layer is essential. This paper presents the application of DOD in manufacturing a planer ion-selective electrode from all liquid materials. The custom development of key hardware lowers the cost of DOD machine. Also it enables direct control to each device. The printing materials are specifically formulated to meet functional demands of ISEs while not compromise dispensing capability.
