Abstract
A fluidic dispensing device includes a housing having an exterior wall and a chamber. The exterior wall has a chip mounting surface defining a first plane and has an opening. The chamber has a port coupled in fluid communication with the opening. An ejection chip is mounted to the chip mounting surface and is oriented along the first plane, and is in fluid communication with the opening. The ejection chip has a fluid ejection direction that is substantially orthogonal to the first plane. A stir bar is located in the chamber, and has a rotational axis. The rotational axis of the stir bar is oriented in an angular range of perpendicular, plus or minus 45 degrees, relative to the fluid ejection direction.
