DNA Microarray Robot - VersArray Chip Writer Pro System Description
VersArray chipwriter Pro systems are high-precision microarrayers capable of printing DNA, proteins, or other biological samples. VersArray chipwriter Pro systems set standards for uniformity, spot density, and reproducibility to deliver unparalleled quality arrays on a variety of substrates. Their modular component design and flexible software easily adapt to either micro-runs or unattended high-throughput prints.
Microarrays are generally used for transcriptional profiling of whole (or very large portions of) genomes. Differences in gene expression can be monitored over time, during development, under different environmental conditions, and lead to the discovery of functionally important genes. The main component of the VersArray Chip Writer Pro is a high-precision robot which is used to spot extremely small volumes (1 - 2 nl) of DNA onto specially coated glass surfaces. Approximately 30,000 spots of DNA can be deposited on a standard 7.5 cm x 2.5 cm glass slide and up to 75 slides can be printed at once.
If you could buy this machine from Bio-Rad today with all the accessories it will cost more than £65,000. Bio-Rad offer full support and servicing for this machine up to August 2011 (a limited support is still offered after this date but some spares may not be available).
