Title:
THE PRODUCTION OF MOLECULAR ARRAYS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002102504
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for the production of an array of molecules immobilised on a substrate, comprises the deposition of the molecules from a micropipette containing them, onto the substrate, in a liquid environment, wherein the distance of the micropipette from the substrate is controlled in response to the ion current in the liquid. This method is particularly suitable for the deposition of biological molecules.
