μArrayer™ Manual Microarray Spotter
Manually operated microarray spotter for printing low density arrays, testing pins, spotting chemistry, carry-over, substrate surface quality, processing techniques and running other essential experiments. For a fraction of cost and time needed for setting up a robotics system μArrayer™ can be a quick start in microarray assays before scaling up to an automated printing. It is also perfect for a short term student projects.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Zero learning curve. No software, quick setup, one page manual ( see the manual ). - Accuracy comparable with robotics spotters. - Compatible with microarray pins of different vendors. - Can be equipped with custom print heads to accept microarray pins from any vendor. - Prints on any surfaces and coatings - glass, membrane, plastics, metal.Specifications and Features
Available Pitch Configurations: 1050 um; 700 um; 350 um Repeatability (including backlash in opposite directions): ~ 30 um Repeatability (in one direction movement): ~ 5 um Speed: ~ 1 spot/sec Pins compatibility: LabNEXT Xtend , Xtend RM - print head #1 ( default option ). TeleChem SMP, TeleChem Stealth and LabNEXT pins - print head #2. Custom print heads available on order.Sample Array Scans
6x10 Cluster: Printed with a 500um pin, 700um spot spacing. Dye on plain glass.
Four 5x5 Clusters: Printed with a 350um pin, 700um spot spacing, 9mm cluster spacing. Dye on plain glass.
Two 8x6 Clusters: Printed with a 200um pin, 700um spot spacing, 9mm cluster spacing. Dye on plain glass.
Depletion Test 350um Pin:After a sample pick-up spots were printed in 50 spot rows until the sample run out. The test shows
how many spots pin can produce from a single pick-up, required number of pre-spotting hits and the area of consistent deposition.
12x9 Cluster: Printed with a 140um pin, 700um spot spacing. Dye on plain glass. The test shows inconsistent spots due to low and
irregular binding of the sample with the plain glass surface. Coated glass slides are required for consistent spot deposition.
