Spotting of DNA Microarray

Microarray solutions

With roots tracing back to the pioneering days of the Human Genome Project, our team brings unparalleled expertise in microarray technology. Since that time, we have continuously enhanced our proprietary dispense technology, setting the industry standard for precision, high throughput, and flexibility. However, our commitment extends far beyond technological innovation. Our cross-functional team of scientists and engineers is dedicated to partnering with you to expedite your development journey and deliver microarrays of the highest quality.

Our unique microarray printing technology

Over two decades ago, we pioneered the first generation microarray printer in response to the demands of the Human Genome Project, filling a crucial gap in available technology. Since then, we've relentlessly refined and expanded this platform, transforming it into a truly unparalleled solution.

Today, our advanced microarray printing technology stands out for its ability to deliver precision, high throughput, and flexibility, setting a new standard in microarray printing.
