The high throughput Perkin Elmer SpotArray 72 contact spotting system prints microarrays with speed and precision using TeleChem Stealth pins.

The SpotArray's unique and flexible printhead accommodates up to 48 pins and creates compact arrays by selectively raising and lowering subsets of pins during printing. After printing, the pins are washed with a powerful pressure-jet pin washer and then vacuum-dried, eliminating carryover.

Printing protocols are easily set up using the SpotArray 72's intuitive user interface. After protocol parameters are entered, several instrument sensors verify these parameters and instrument settings, ensuring error-free operation.

The SpotArray 72 is equipped with HEPA air filters and humidity control to ensure accurate and consistent microarray printing.
