Nanopump Drug Delivery

Filed in archive Biotech by Dr. Joseph Kim on July 08, 2008

Have you heard of the Nanopump? Well, Debiotech in Switzerland is developing the Nanopump to micro-dose medications by utilizing a volumetric membrane pump with a pair of check valves and integrating in a MEMS chip. According to their description: "The chip is a stack of 3 layers bonded together: a silicon on insulatorlinks (SOI) plate with micromachined pump-structures and two Pyrex cover plates with through-holes. This MEMS chip is assembled with a piezoelectric actuator that moves the membrane in a reciprocating movement to compress and decompress the fluid in the pumping chamber." Wow! The company is currently developing an insulin Nanopump and also a device that can be implanted into the body.
