3D printing program lets you “homemade” medicines at home

According to a report by the Physicist Organization Network on April 17 (Beijing time), Glasgow University in the United Kingdom has developed a new three-dimensional printing program that can print out chemical products on demand by using reaction vessels as printing materials. The researchers said that the use of this program is expected to develop a household chemical manufacturing machine in the future, allowing people to design and produce various drugs at home. Related papers were published in the recent issue of Nature and Chemistry.

Researchers said that using a commercial three-dimensional printer equipped with open source computer-aided design software can produce a variety of "reactionware" that can synthesize various organic and inorganic materials. The "reaction piece" is a special kind of container made of polymer gel, set to work at room temperature, dedicated to chemical reactions. It also includes a catalyst as a printing material and other components for electrochemical analysis and spectral analysis. Put the container into the printer and add other chemicals. The container itself will become part of the reaction process. This reaction is usually done by large chemical plants, and the "reaction piece" allows it to enter the laboratory for the first time.

“Let the vessel itself become part of the reaction process, and the reaction device and the reaction itself become indistinguishable. This is a new type of chemical reaction. This allows better control of the reaction. The vessel can be designed to be more and more refined as needed. “Professor Cronin Lee from Glasgow University’s School of Chemistry said, “Our original response kits can only synthesize 3 previously unreported compounds and 1/4 of the directive products.”

People can already customize various materials in the laboratory, such as windows or electrodes, but this is not only expensive but also takes a long time. Cronin said that these "reaction containers" can be created in a shorter time with a three-dimensional printer, and even the most complicated containers can take a few hours.

The researchers pointed out that in the past, all kinds of utensils that could only be produced with expensive professional facilities could be produced at lower cost through 3D printing, and now 3D printers have entered a more attractive field: directly printing chemical reagents into 3D reaction parts The source body combines the design, construction and numerical control operations of the reactor. By changing the composition of the reaction components, the output product can be changed.

This three-dimensional printing program is a relatively cheap, automated restructuring of the chemical development platform that will have a profound impact on the future. Cronin said that the technology is still in its early stages and is still further improved. "3D printers are expected to help developing countries change their health care methods and make diagnosis and treatment more efficient and economical. We also hope that in the future it will be able to enter the homes of ordinary people and turn into household chemical makers, including drugs. Through computer programs controlled by software, Allow consumers to design their own medicines and create the necessary drugs at home (Reporter Chang Lijun)
