A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A MEDICATION

摘要

An apparatus for manufacturing a medication comprising an ejector unit adapted for ejecting a predefined amount of a drug having a liquid component to a solid carrier substrate. The ejector unit comprises a capillary and a tubular piezoelectric actuator surrounding at least a part of the capillary. The apparatus further comprises a control unit adapted for applying an electric signal to the piezoelectric actuator which, in response to the electric signal, is adapted to generate a compressional wave in the capillary for ejecting the predefined amount of the drug via an orifice of the capillary. Moreover, a method of manufacturing a medication is provided, the method comprising ejecting a predefined amount of a drug having a liquid component to a solid carrier substrate. Furthermore, a medication is provided comprising a solid carrier substrate, and a predefined amount of a drug ejected with a liquid component to the solid carrier substrate by an ejector unit.
