Volume data representation and processing for liquid dispensing devices

1. A method for ejecting one or more fluids from a digital dispense device, the method comprising the steps of:

a) providing a glass slide or a micro-well plate;

b) inputting to a memory a volume per unit area for each of the one or more fluids to be ejected from the digital dispense device onto the glass slide or into a well of the micro-well plate;

c) matching the volume per unit area to a device resolution for the digital dispense device;

d) formatting fluid ejectors for the digital dispense device for the device resolution; and

e) ejecting fluid from the digital dispense device onto the glass slide or into the well of the micro-well plate to provide the volume per area for each of the one or more fluids.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the volume per unit area is greater than the device resolution for the digital dispense device.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the volume per unit area is less than or equal to the device resolution for the digital dispense device.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising (f) inputting a separator after step (e) and repeating steps (a)-(e).

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the separator comprises a wait period of time between fluid depositions.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the separator comprises a fluid cartridge change between fluid depositions.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the separator comprises a physical property feedback loop to a user between fluid depositions.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the separator comprises a chemical property feedback loop to a user between fluid depositions.

9. The method of claim 4 , further comprising repeating step (f) for each of the one or more fluids up to and including forty different fluids.
