After the Microdrop Liquid Test has proven that the material is dispensable by one of the microdrop products, additional application and prototyping tests may be carried on. The investigations in the Microdrop Lab are aiming at optimal solutions for individual application needs and optimal processes. Here the material is deposited on test substrates or components and the whole process including the interaction between material and substrate is investigated; e. g.:

• wetting behavior
• drying effect
• line spreading
• structure building (e. g. line width, thickness, height)
• interconnection (e. g. bonding application)
• process parameters (e. g. temperature conditions, cycle time, throughput)

The Application Test provides an optimized production process or handling instructions about the investigated application. The dispensing system best fitted for the application will be finally identified.
