Shocking facts
According to international standards, the tolerance of the flow rate for drugs is high with ±15%. In addition, the application under daily life-circumstances is difficult to realize. Elastomer pumps have a concave pressure profile: the flow rate is higher than the set value at the beginning and lower at the end. Therefore medication is under- and overdosed.
Further issues such as system plugging can only be detected by human monitoring. Due to various factors, such as viscosity and temperature, elastomer pumps are very specifically adapted to drugs.
Consequently, a better alternative that is affordable, effective and meets all quality standards is required.
An intelligent alternative
Bartels Mikrotechnik designed a solution: a complex and intelligent system that allows a regulation of flow rates for different media with highest precision – regardless of temperature and viscosity. The mpSmart.
By combining the commercially available Bartels mp6 micropump and the SENSIRION (LD20 / SLSF 3S) liquid flow sensor, a controlled and cost-effective system was created. A suitable Bluetooth device can be used for adjustment and control. mpSmart also features time-saving automatic data transfer with immediate documentation. Because of the significantly better adjustment and regulation possibilities the system can be used easily and properly by different users.
Due to the big advantages and cost-efficient concept, mpSmart can revolutionize the market as a smart pharma-packaging with high quality standard.
Why should today’s medicine not use the possibilities of today? The mpSmart shows: Affordable and better is possible now.
This video on YouTube is the best way to understand how the mpSmart works.
Since more than 20 years Bartels Mikrotechnik is a pioneer in the manufacture of microsystem components. The company specializes in innovative applications of micro systems technology (MST) in the branches of classical consumer goods, mechanical engineering and medical technology. In addition to the key area of microfluidics, microactuators and micromechanics count to the company’s technological focus as well.
The international activities of Bartels Mikrotechnik subdivide into two business segments: Both business segments go hand in hand with each other and support the development and increasement of the other.
microComponents – our range of products, 100 % German engineering
We distribute self-developed microfluidic products. The key products are our micropumps. They are even available in starter sets, and other component parts like electronic controllers. Our microvalves (mp-av) and -filters (mp-f) are just a few of the products our product range has to offer.
We ensure that our hardware is globally available at all times thanks to our numerous worldwide distributors, and we also offer an accessible service that provides you with expert advice at all times.
The mp6 micropump series – small, flat and 100% tested
Our mp6 series is small, flat, customizable and compatible with a wide range of media. The mp6 series micropumps convey micro quantities of gases, liquids or mixtures. The material of our pumps is polymeric and therefore large quantities are inexpensive to produce. Due to their radically simple design, these piezoelectric diaphragm pumps are not only offered as standard products but can easily be adapted to customer specific requirements as well. As well the series already offers specialized pumps for your desired application. The mp6 micropump is ideal as a disposable item! Each pump is tested for its specifications before leaving the warehouse. First-class technology and competent employees ensure our quality promise (certified according to ISO 9001: 2015) and this ensures the smooth operation of our micropumps.
microEngineering – our innovation service for you
Together with you, we innovate. With our specialized microfluidic know-how we develop individual, flexible and market-driven product solutions that exactly meet your requirements.
The idea is to support industrial customers in the transformation of conventional product solutions into product innovations by the means of micro systems technology (MST) – and opening up completely new possibilities. No matter if optimizations of existing products or completely new inventions are requested flexible, individual and market-oriented solutions will be developed. The customization of micropumps and the correspondent electronic controllers is part of the services Bartels Mikrotechnik offers in the segment microEngineering.
About Bartels Mikrotechnik GmbH
Ever since the foundation of the Bartels Mikrotechnik GmbH in 1996, the company has been a synonym for great innovative power and microtechnological know-how.
Founder and owner Dr. Frank Bartels still is the CEO of the company that benefits from his decision to locate his firm at the high technology location Dortmund in order to build up a strong and reliable network. As former chairman of IVAM Microtechnology Network, the physicist born 1956 continues this idea of connecting and synthesising resources.
The company is full of diversity (in gender, age, education and profession), driven by innovation and creating high-quality solutions. We offer 100% tested, high-performance and -quality products for your individual issues, developed by our experts.
We are always there for you, whether you need consultation or services.
