The Division of Product Quality Research (DPQR) conducts research on assessing the quality and safety of drug products. One of the on-going research activities is to conduct research on assessing the performance, quality and safety of 3D printed drug products. These studies are critical in assessing the quality of intermediate and marketed drug products. To support this function, DPQR needs additional Low-Temp dispensing heads (with accessories) that can be installed on the existed EnvisionTEC 3D Bioplotter system in DPQR. The Low-Temp dispensing heads will extend DPQR capability to understand the manufacturing of multicompartment 3D printed products that require the use of several print heads simultaneously.

Addition of 2 more Low-Temp dispensing heads will expand the capability of the Bioplotter for priming 4 materials simultaneously.
