As usual, a manufacturer web page is not really suitable for an encyclopedia article. I cleaned it up a little, removed a line of pure advertising, adjusting the bias towards the form of dispensing the company sells, simplifying the sentence structure, and removing many unnecessary words. I would have continued, but I realized a major problem: the overwhelming amount of the text is about dispensing liquids and semi-solids in general, not about microdispensing. There is in fact essentially no material about the actual subject. Maybe the material here can be used elsewhere, after cleaning it, and a proper article written. And in any case it needs references other than the web site. It needs references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. A textbook would be a good choice here. I'll be back to see progress . DGG (talk) 23:48, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I came here to fix a mis-spelling and ended up with a good example of how to eat up more time than I have :-| It still needs a lot of work and review by someone more familiar with the subject (than I am). Then there's the problem with it being generally about fluid through nozzles instead of microdispensing... AlanM1 (talk) 09:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
