Drug Coating of a Balloon Dilatation Catheter Using the Microlab 700 Dispenser

HAM App Note Drug Coating of a Balloon Dilatation Catheter

Consistency and accuracy are critical in drug-coated balloon (DCB) production. This application note, developed in partnership with Blue Medical Devices B.V., introduces a semi-automated method using the Hamilton Microlab 700 to enhance coating precision and streamline workflows.

The Aliquot function within the Microlab 700 Wizard software enables precise dispensing of small, predefined volumes of coating solution into each balloon pleat. Integrating the Microlab 700 improves dosing uniformity but also accelerates processing by up to 50%. 

Download the app note to learn how the semi-automated precise process supports regulatory compliance and scalability, making it an ideal solution for high-quality, high-volume DCB production.
