Unlike pneumac-based bioprinng, this technique results in small droplets instead of laments. The translaonal speed of the bioprinng
process will aect the pitch between droplets. A low speed might result in the droplets merging together or aggregang, while a high speed will
result in a larger distance between droplets.
The EMD Printhead includes a noncontact nozzle and a contact nozzle. The contact nozzle must be calibrated to the height of the surface, while
the noncontact nozzle must be calibrated between one and three cenmeters away from the surface. The contact nozzle has a needle which can
extrude droplets or laments depending on the parameters set.
In addion, EMD bioprinng can be used in combinaon with other extrusion techniques to coat or place specic cell paerns.
