GENOTYPING AND GENOMIC DISCOVERY
High-throughput screening of nucleic acids
DNA microarrays have been a core tool for analysing gene expression for almost 30 years. Our inkjet microarrayers print nucleic acid (NA) libraries with ultra-high levels of precision and up to 100x faster than traditional pin-spotting systems.
Ideal for researchers working on:
- Whole genome and targeted genotyping
- Single cell and spatial transcriptomics
- Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis
We print oligos and complete genes, and NA formats including DNA, siRNA, and liposome encapsulated DNA. The platform is compatible with all surface chemistries including epoxy, aldehyde, and NHS. We also supply ready-to-use protocols for high quality immobilisation on slides, microplates, or custom substrates.
Increase your Research throughput
The Inkjet Advantage
High-density inkjet microarrays have excellent spot morphology and consistency and are produced with unrivalled speed.
High Density
Print up to 100,000 features on a slide in neat, evenly spaced grids.
High Quality
Consistent spot morphology with homogenous sample immobilisation and low %CV’s.
High-throughput
Automated plate loading and large batch sizes of up to 1000 printed slides or 200 microplates.
Instruments and services are delivered from our ISO 13485:2016 controlled manufacturing facility.
RECOMMENDED INSTRUMENT PACKAGE

Arrayjet Advance™ Team
Access our microarray application expertise and the fastest, most versatile microarray printers, when you outsource your development and manufacturing projects to us.
COMBINATORIAL LIBRARY SCREENING
ArrayPlex™ Spot-On-Spot Microarrays
Arrayjet’s unique inkjet approach to bioprinting allowed us to develop ArrayPlex™ – our patented microarray platform. With ArrayPlex™ we can create multi-layered microarrays, allowing two libraries to be screened against each other. This takes throughput to the next level, generating millions of data points each week.
ArrayPlex™ is compatible with all sample types and detects hits at an equal or higher sensitivity to ELISA.
“Transfer to Arrayjet technology has had huge benefits for our cancer research and biomarker discovery. Our team can now produce 100 slides in a working day, using just 1 µg of cDNA per gene of interest. The automated process enables us to focus fully on our research knowing arrays will be printed reliably and reproducibly every time.”
