Zusammenfassung:A microneedle array assembly (71; 171), comprising: a microneedle array (28; 128) comprising a base having opposite upstream and downstream sides (37, 40) and defining a plurality of apertures (43) extending between the upstream and downstream sides (37,40); and a plurality of microneedles (31; 131) extending from the downstream side (40); wherein each of the plurality of apertures (43) are defined in the base proximate each of the plurality of microneedles (31; 131), and wherein the resistance to flow through the upstream side of the base (34) is at least about 30 times greater than resistance to flow through the microneedle array (28; 128), wherein the at least about 30 times greater is a difference in the resistance to flow between the upstream side (37) and the downstream side (40) of the base.
