Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of additive manufacturing a 3D-printed article, comprising: (a) printing and depositing one or more layers of a slurry by using a 3D printer, wherein the slurry comprises a ceramic powder composition; (b) further injecting an oil around the one or more layers of slurry, wherein the height of the injected oil is lower than the height of the slurry; (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) until a main body with desired geometric shape is obtained; and (d) sintering the main body by heating to obtain the 3D-printed article wherein the temperature of a printing carrier of the 3D printer is from 30 to 80° C.
Abstract:
An automatic cell isolation and collection system for sorting out target cells from a sample includes a crush module, a centrifuge module, a transport module, and a control unit. The centrifuge module includes centrifuge tubes and a magnetic mechanism providing a magnetically attractive force to at least one of the centrifuge tubes. The control unit electrically communicates with the crush module, the centrifuge module, and the transport module, and controls operation of the crush module, transport of the sample via the transport module after the sample is crushed by the crush module, centrifugation of the centrifuge module, and operation of the magnetic mechanism for providing the magnetically attractive force.
