One method of assisted reproduction include ICSI. The piezo-activated method has the potential to open up new possibilities. With the piezo ICSI has glass microcapillary with the sperm cell inside is driven forward by an actuated piezo elements in a precise movement, enabling it to pierce the coat and the surrounding call membrane of the egg cell. The tip of the microcapillary can then be carefully introduced into the middle of the cytoplasm so that the sperm cell can be placed there.

Dosing Medication Efficiently
Oscillating Mesh Nebulizers with Piezo Technology for Reliable Therapy
Respiratory diseases are often a big strain on the patient and can become life-threatening. Therapy applications for these diseases require technologies that allow nebulizers to generate ultra-fine aerosols to gently transport medication directly into the lungs by inhalation. One technological option is the use of innovative, piezo-driven, oscillating mesh nebulizers.

Driving Microfluidics with Powerful Ultrasound
Insights into Transducer Development at PI Ceramic
Ultrasonic transducers based on piezo technology, are important tools in active microfluidics for in vitro diagnostics (IVD). Ultrasonic waves are used to mix the fluids to be examined in a defined manner, to lyse blood cells, or to align, move, or sort individual cells and particles in a defined manner using so-called acoustic tweezers in cytometry. To support customers in these future-oriented applications, PI Ceramic has developed a Langevin transducer.
