Pins and Printheads for Microarray Manufacturing.
Arrayit offers a wide assortment of microarray pins and printheads to implement contact printing in your life sciences laboratory. Arrayit pins load samples from microplates by capillary action, and deliver picoliter and nanoliter droplets via an “ink-stamping” mechanism by making light contact between the pin tip and the printing substrate. Pins and printheads are machined to high mechanical tolerances to achieve highly accurate, mass produced microarrays. Click here for Arrayit manufacturing scientific publications.

Microarray Printing Demonstration
A demonstration of a horizontal Micro Spotting Pin deposit samples without touching the pin to the substrate. This movie demonstrates our novel sample delivery mechanism, which takes advantage of a thin layer of sample at the end of the printing pin. Our “ink-stamp” delivery mechanism provides consistent sample delivery volumes, durability to millions of printing cycles, and sufficient sophistication to permit the manufacture of even the most delicate protein molecules. Video coming soon.
