A method to rapidly prepare and screen formulations and compositions containing same

摘要

A new method to rapidly produce and screen polymer-, xerogel-, bioceramic- and bioglass-based formulations is described. The approach is based on a high-speed pin printer and imaging with an epi-fluorescence microscope/charge coupled device detector. By using this method one can produce and screen over 600 formulations/hr and rapidly identify lead formulations and/or compositions that are useful for the development of devices such as medical devices and (bio)sensors.
