Abstract: The paper demonstrates an adaptation of a 3D printer (Prusa Mini+) with novel modules to develop a droplet generation system that generates combinatorial droplets from a standard 96 well plate. The calibration methodology developed would allow any fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer to generate monodisperse droplets (coefficient of variance (CV%) < 5%) from well plates or vials of any geometry. The system maintains precision across various volumes while maintaining a C.V. range of 0.81% to 3.61%, with an increased precision for larger volumes. The cost of the system developed is 70% less than commercially available droplet generation packages. Successful droplet library storage is accomplished via 3D printed cartridge connectors. The implemented system has been calibrated for Tygon® and PTFE at different velocities and volumetric configurations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
