MICRONEEDLE ARRAY PRODUCTION APPARATUS AND MICRONEEDLE ARRAY PRODUCTION APPARATUS, AND PRODUCT INCLUDING MICRONEEDLE ARRAY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a product including a microneedle array in which distribution of compositions is highly accurately adjusted.SOLUTION: A microneedle array production apparatus 1 includes a droplet discharge device 10 and a positioning device 20 for filling a plurality of recesses formed on a mold 80 with raw material liquid for molding microneedles and molding a microneedle array composed of a plurality of microneedles. The droplet discharge device 10 is configured to be able to discharge droplets of the raw material liquid into each of the recesses by a predetermined amount less than the volume of the recess. The positioning device 20 positions the droplet discharge device 10 relative to the mold 80 such that a droplet from the droplet discharge device 10 is landed in each recess.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
