Patent

CA 2387793

A method and apparatus for cleaning the interior of capillary tubes (62) used to dispense 1 to 100 micron diameter liquid droplets by a piezoelectric transducer (60) surrounding each capillary tube. Magnetic particles are aspirated into the capillary tubes and moved by an exterior magnet to cause deposits on the interior walls to be dislodged and subsequently discharged from the capillary tube. In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic particles are coated with a material capable of binding such deposits.

L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil de nettoyage de l'intérieur de tubes (62) capillaires utilisés pour distribuer des gouttelettes de liquide, dont le diamètre est compris entre 1 et 100 microns, au moyen d'un transducteur (60) piézo-électrique entourant chaque tube capillaire. Des particules magnétiques sont aspirées dans les tubes capillaires et déplacées par un aimant extérieur de façon à déloger les dépôts se trouvant sur les parois internes et à les évacuer ensuite du tube capillaire. Selon une réalisation préférée, les particules magnétiques sont revêtues d'un matériau capable de fixer ces dépôts.
