SuperGold Microarray Substrate

Products - Microarray Substrates & Slides - SuperGold

SuperGold Microarray Substrates provide an outstanding quality 100-angstrom gold layer surface for microarray surface plasmon resonance, nanotechnology, electrochemistry, biosensors, and other high-end applications. The manufacturing process begins with our atomically flat (SuperClean) polished glass as the substrate and constructs the 100 Å gold layer using a chrome adhesion layer attachment approach.

Product Description
ArrayIt® provides the world’s only gold substrate on an atomically flat glass surface. Our innovative, high-end SuperGold Substrates make gold-surface based assays rapid, affordable, easy to implement, and the data obtained will be superior to other products in the field. Users will appreciate the following features:

100 Å layer of pure gold for superior performance
Microarray, cell biology, nanotechnology, SPR, microscopy and other applications
Atomically flat glass substrate improves assay precision
Plasma cleaning prior to deposition improves adhesion
Cleanroom manufacturing process prevents particle contamination
More convenient and better quality than “home made” surfaces
Antistatic, environmental proof packaging
Corner chamfer for unambiguous gold (functional) side identification
Substrates arrive ready to use

Figure 1. SuperGold Microarray Substrate in a class 100 cleanroom. The 100 Å gold layer on the atomically flat glass substrate is readily visible. The SMG5 product is manufactured and packaged in a cleanroom environment, and is provided in boxes of 5 pieces for affordability and ease-of-use. Make sure to use the top (gold) side of the substrate only. The gold is deposited on the side corresponding to the cropped (chamfer) located in the upper right of the substrate as shown in the photograph.
