3D-printed scaffolds for sample handling and preparation

Original language description

3D printing has become a commonly used tool for designing supports for the analytical laboratory with a wide range of uses. 3D printing has facilitated the daily work in the development of analytical methods and preparative procedures or enabled new tasks by providing a simple, fast, and cost-efficient way to generate general laboratory materials. Moreover, it suits fast replacement of broken instrumental parts or fabrication of devices for sampling, sample handling, and detection as well as supports for auxiliary elements on commercial instruments. In short, 3D printing satisfies the analyst&apos;s need for practically any analytical device that requires fit-for-purpose design. In terms of sample preparation, 3D-printed parts have been specifically designed to precisely arrange magnets for magnetic sorbent recovery, membrane separators, functional vials for electric field-assisted sample preparation, supports and cartridges for solid-phase extraction, or have facilitated liquid-phase microextraction automated in-syringe, or scaffolds for lab-on-paper devices. Moreover, 3D printing offers the possibility to fine-tune the specific design on-side with a minimum of required time and material, a capability that is often referred to as fast prototyping. 3D printing technologies have even enabled producing the main component of analytical systems such as microfluidics, or valve manifolds, as well as key elements required for laboratory automation such as autosamplers and robotic arms. In terms of sampling, 3D printing opens the opportunity to create increased supporting surfaces or holders for sorbents that are unfeasible by subtractive fabrication. It also facilitates the manufacturing of supports for the immobilization of nanomaterial-based sorbents for sample preparation. The ability to fabricate these scaffolds in a versatile, fast, and cost-effective manner is accelerating the way how scientists in the field of analytical chemistry are developing novel analytical methods and techniques. The current chapter focuses on the use of 3D printing techniques as an aiding tool to produce scaffolds and aims to give a comprehensive overview of the potential by highlighting cornerstone applications.
