PCT No. PCT/GB91/01727 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 4, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 4, 1993 PCT Filed Oct. 4, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/05962 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 16, 1992.This invention relates to a method of testing multi-channel array pulsed droplet deposition apparatus (10) comprising a multiplicity of parallel channels (12) each with pulse imparting means for expelling droplets therefrom. The apparatus is located opposite a test module (20) having detecting elements (21) with channels of the apparatus opposed and close to the respective elements. Coupling fluid (23) fills the channels (12) to be tested and the space between the apparatus and the test module. Test signals are applied to impart energy pulses to the fluid in the channels opposite the detecting elements so that signals are passed to those elements by way of the fluid which are evaluated to assess the channel performance. Various forms of the detector elements and the apparatus are disclosed.
