Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a shaped element for the production of microarrays. Furthermore, the invention relates to a shaped element for the production of microarrays, produced in particular with the method according to the invention.
- Microarrays have a multiplicity of microneedles, which are usually arranged in or connected to a carrier element, such as in a patch, a plaster or the like. Microarrays have a large number of microneedles, the length of which is dimensioned such that when they are pressed into the skin of a patient, they penetrate the skin only far enough so that nerves and vessels are not touched by the needle tips as far as possible.
- the needles contain an active substance, for example a drug.
- the corresponding active substance can be applied to an upper side of the needle or can be arranged in the needles.
- the needles or parts of the needles are made of a material that dissolves in the patient's skin.
- Microarrays are produced, for example, with the aid of silicone molds, which have a large number of mold openings designed as depressions, which serve as negative molds.
- a liquid provided with the active substance is usually applied to the upper side of the silicone matrix. After the liquid has dried, another liquid is applied if necessary.
- the production of the silicone molds with their indentations is currently carried out, for example, by means of an injection molding process.
- the object of the invention is to create a method for producing a shaped element for the production of microarrays, which is inexpensive and preferably suitable for the production of large quantities. Furthermore, it is the object of the invention to create a corresponding shaped element.
- the object is achieved according to the invention by a method according to claim 1 or a shaped element according to claim 8.
- the method according to the invention for producing a shaped element for the production of microarrays is, in particular, a method for producing an open shaped element, in particular open on both sides, for the production of microarrays.
- a flat base element is provided.
- the base member has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface.
- the first surface is in particular the upper side of the base element, while the second surface is in particular the underside of the base element.
- a further, second step consists in providing a flat auxiliary element on the second surface.
- the step of providing the auxiliary element takes place before or after providing the base element, although it is particularly preferred that the auxiliary element is provided together with the base element.
- the base element is penetrated, starting from the first surface, in order to form mold openings in the base element.
- Penetration means in particular a complete penetration of the base element, so that the base element is completely penetrated.
- the mold openings formed thereby preferably run from the first surface to the second surface, so that continuous openings are formed.
- the auxiliary element there is also penetration into the auxiliary element. For example, if the base element is penetrated by a punching tool, the punching tool completely penetrates the base element and also penetrates into the auxiliary element. It is particularly preferred that partial penetration into the auxiliary element takes place. It is hereby preferred that the auxiliary element is not completely penetrated.
- non-reversible means invasive penetration into the auxiliary element, so that the penetration results in an, in particular permanent, open depression in the auxiliary element.

If the penetration takes place, for example, by means of a punching tool, the base element is penetrated by the punching tool and the punching tool also partially penetrates into the auxiliary element, so that a partial opening occurs here as well.

- Another preferred step after penetrating the base element and penetrating the auxiliary element consists in penetrating out of the base element and penetrating out of the auxiliary element.
- the penetration into the base element and the auxiliary element takes place in particular together, preferably with the same tool. It is particularly preferred that the ejection from the base element and the auxiliary element takes place together. If, for example, penetration and penetration take place by means of a punching tool, penetration occurs when the punching tool is withdrawn. In particular, the mold openings run through the base element and partially into the auxiliary element.
- the method according to the invention is advantageous compared to an alternative method for producing open structures, in which openings are produced in a laser process downstream of an injection molding process. Such a disadvantageous injection molding and laser process is very complicated and expensive.

- the penetration it is possible for the penetration to take place by means of drilling and/or milling and/or punching.
- embossing it is preferred that this is done by means of an embossing roller. If, on the other hand, there is punching, it is preferred that this is done by means of a punching roller. It is also possible, for example, for embossing to take place using an embossing stamp or punching using a punch.

- the side length a of the mold opening 14 preferably also corresponds to the side length of the base area of the base mold opening 15.
- the thickness dß of the base element is preferably 600 pm - 2 mm.
- the thickness of the auxiliary element dH is preferably 200
- the embodiment from Fig. 5 essentially corresponds to that from Fig. 2.
- the auxiliary element 11 in Fig. 6 has a high elasticity and/or a high embossing temperature, so that after the penetration of the elevations 22 into the auxiliary element 11, no auxiliary depressions 17 (see FIG. 2) remain in the auxiliary element 11, but the auxiliary element 11 preferably returns to its original shape.
- the mold openings 14 according to the exemplary embodiment from FIG Base mold openings 15.
- the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 6 essentially also corresponds to the exemplary embodiment from FIG. 2.
- the auxiliary element 11 from FIG. The depressions 46 are designed, for example, in the shape of pyramids, cylinders or part circles.
- the indentations 46 are preferably distributed regularly on the first surface of the auxiliary element 11 .
- the indentations 46 are aligned in such a way that the tips of the elevations 22 penetrate into the indentations 46 during the embossing process and thus do not deform the auxiliary element 11 .
- a mold opening 14 corresponds to a base mold opening 15 in the exemplary embodiment from FIG.
