Microarray dispensing with real-time verification and inspection

摘要: A microarrayer for spotting solution onto a receiving surface in an automated microarray dispensing device. Elements of the invention include: at least one dispense head(6,40) (4A1-4E10), light source (13) capable illuminating surface, camera (12) operating conjunction with source. The is acquiring and transmitting image data to computer. computer programmed receive analyze it. then generates post analysis based on data. available improving surface. In preferred embodiment, includes information relating alignment, spot quality, identification information. preferred, alignment enables make automatic adjustments relative positions head increase accuracy spotting. quality identifies as pass or fail.
