Abstract
Automated dosing of small amounts of liquids involves normally quite large pipettes and motors for pipette actuation. Miniaturized pipettes can enable new areas, in which micro dosing is demanded. The first development resulting from a cooperation between Fraunhofer IPA and AIST Kansai (Osaka, Japan) has been a miniaturized pipette in which the carbon nanotube actuator developed by AIST Kansai was integrated by Fraunhofer IPA with the help of FEM simulation and printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing.
