Abstract
A new and simple method is presented here for dispensing liquid nano- and pico-droplets through a non-invasive electrode-less configuration using the electric field generated by the pyroelectric effect into a dielectric crystal. The results show how the system is potentially useful for delivering liquid samples of biochemical interest, avoiding cross contaminations and special nozzles.
