DNA/Antibody/Protein Microarrayer
The winner of the Best Product prize in the "1st Monozukuri Nihon Taisho" manufacturing competition
In addition to the highly precise, continuous spotting capabilities of our patented screw pins, new techniques have been incorporated to enhance the precision of inter-spot distance and glass-to-glass reproducibility of array precision. This device is mounted with a newly developed pin head that enables all the pins to spot the slide glass with uniform contact pressure.
These features enable the device to be used in a wide variety of applications—antibody, peptide, and low molecular compounds—that have been considered out of the scope of conventional techniques. They can be applied both to slide glasses and membranes.
