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.

Unmatched capacity and flexibility

Our proprietary technology can dramatically boost throughput, for example: our high-speed printhead can dispense up to 32 unique samples on every pass above your substrates, precisely depositing the 32 samples at a rate of 238 spots per second. Our technology offers these features:


Drop volume	20pL – 300pL single drop volumes; nL dispense volumes with stop-and-drop firing mode. Generates spots in diameter range from 25µm to 300µm.
Spot size range	25µm -300µm
Drop pitch	Broad range based on substrate and spot size
Print tips	Up to 32 tips
Fire mode	Single drop or burst mode (alternate instrument)
Print type	Non-contact printing
Print speed	Speeds of up to 200 mm/s
Sweep mode	On-the-fly or stop-and-drop
Compatibility	Broad range of nucleic acids, proteins, antigens, and more
