Method of making a droplet-generating device |
摘要 |
Method of making a droplet-generating device. In the method, a first droplet-generating device may be produced. The first droplet-generating device may include a molded portion created at least in part with a mold and also may include a plurality of droplet generators each formed at least in part by the molded portion. A set of droplets may be generated with each of one or more of the droplet generators. A property of at least one set of generated droplets may be determined. The mold may be modified based on the property. A second droplet-generating device may be produced that includes a molded portion created at least in part with the modified mold. |

1. A method of making a droplet-generating device, the method comprising:
producing a first droplet-generating device including a molded portion created at least in part with a mold and also including a plurality of droplet generators each formed at least in part by the molded portion; generating a set of droplets with each of one or more of the droplet generators; determining a property of at least one set of generated droplets; modifying the mold based on the property; and producing a second droplet-generating device including a molded portion created at least in part with the modified mold; wherein the mold defines a projecting portion including a plurality of intersecting ridges that create a plurality of intersecting grooves in the molded portion, and wherein the step of modifying the mold includes a step of removing material from the projecting portion of the mold. |
