How to Deal with Changing Fluid Viscosities

Changing fluid viscosity can have a big effect on the accuracy of fluid dispensing applications, resulting in poor process control and nonconformance with GMP regulations. Medical manufacturers of catheters, arthroscopic instruments, point-of-care diagnostics and other devices are challenged to control dispensing processes when fluids that change viscosity are involved. Traditional dispensing options include two-part metering systems with static mixing nozzles, positive-displacement dispensers and time-pressure dispensers. These methods raise a number of issues, however, that include, respectively, waste and lack of precision, maintenance and variations as the material hardens, and the need to make manual adjustments to compensate for changes in viscosity.
