CapitalBio SmartArrayer 136 is designed for large-scale microarray printing of up to 136 slides or up to 17 96-well plates. The SmartArrayer 136 is equipped with dual systems of contact printing and non-contact dispensing. The multi-purpose microarray spotter prints liquid samples on various substrates, such as glass, silicon, microplates or membranes, with high precision, maximum flexibility.
◆ Dual printing: Exchangeable contact spotting module and non-contact Microdispense™ module.
◆ Substrate versatility: Standard decks applicable to glass slides, silicon substrates and microplates
◆ Higher capacity for slide loading (up to 136) or plate loading (up to 17) in a single round to meet the needs of large-scale microarray production.
◆ High speed: Precise X, Y spotting motion up to 300 mm/sec velocity and 3,000 mm/sec² acceleration when 32 pins are fitted.
◆ Highly efficient cleaning: Selectable combinations of sonication, active washing and vacuum drying.
◆ Pneumatic Non-contact Microdispense™ technology: Ensures no direct contact with slide substrates for less contamination and higher sample utilization rates.
◆ Application flexibility: Microdispense™ volumes adjustable from 10nl to 50µl.
◆ User-friendly software: Flexible array design tools and representative graphical previews of slides/plates/arrays/samples.
◆ Controlled printing environment: HEPA filter, humidity control.
