SPOTTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR HIGH CONCENTRATION SPOT DEPOSITION ON MICROARRAYS AND OTHER MICROSCALE DEVICES

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2006014460

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Disclosed is a spotter device and methods for the formation of microassays, biochips, biosensors, and cell cultures. The spotter may be used to deposit highly concentrated spots of protein or other materials on a microarray a slide, wafer, or other substrate. The spotter uses microfluidic conduits and orifices to deposit proteins, other biomolecules, or chemicals on a spot on a substrate. Each orifice is part of a fluid pathways that includes an inlet and outlet conduit. When the spotter contacts a substrate a seal is formed between the orifices and the substrate.
