PersonalArrayer 16 is a new highly flexible and efficient microarray spotter. It is equipped with both contact printing and proprietary non-contact dispensing technology. It can be used for proteomics, genomics, clinical diagnostics and food safety testing applications. Its compact design and flexible functions make it suitable for research labs and diagnostic labs.
◆ Compact design
◆ Dispense volumes are adjustable from 10nl to 50µl
◆ Air pressure-driven dispensing ensure no direct contact with slide substrates, giving higher sample recovery rate and less contamination
◆ User-friendly software interface, with a selection of array designs and array previews
◆ High efficiency pinhead wash: Customizable combination of sonication, water/solvent wash with high speed peristaltic pump and vacuum drying of printing pins
◆ Flexibility: Users can choose different modules for different printing applications
◆ Active intelligence: Automatic identification of slide/plate deck and spotting/dispensing module and automatic fluid level sensing
