Arrayjet’s microarray spotters are the fastest ultra-low-volume dispensers on the market. With patented inkjet microarray technology, they can print any type of biological sample onto any substrate, up to 10x faster than the closest alternative.
Harnessing over 20 years of microarray innovation from our expert team of scientists and engineers, Mercury systems boast unrivalled speed, precision, reproducibility, and quality assurance in real-time.
Our modular design is scalable: upgrade your capacity as requirements grow.

“We’ve been able to print extra slides for other researchers working on SARS-CoV-2 projects. The sheer speed of Arrayjet’s “on-the-fly” printers makes this possible. The intuitive software is continually updated, and the technology itself is very modern so I trust it in terms of reliable performance and quality printing. The spot morphology is also very good; the microarrayer from Arrayjet is one of the best that I’ve ever seen.”
“Our Arrayjet has been instrumental in achieving the throughput and reliability that have been needed for the production of antigen arrays for validation of 47,000 antibodies within the Human Protein Atlas. It has also shown to be highly suitable for the production of our large scale arrays that comprise over 20,000 features per array in both antigen and reverse phase serum arrays. We have arrayed more than 12,000 slides with the Arrayjet Marathon over the last five years and it has become a very important part of our research group and the SciLifeLab National Affinity Proteomics protein array facility.”

“I’m one of the six co-founders of CDI Laboratories and act as a consultant on the scientific advisory board. Over the past few years, we had been using contact printing technology, which was causing several quality issues and we needed to seek an alternative, improved solution to our fast-growing and developing business model. After extensive research, testing and development of our ‘HuProt’ Human Proteome Array onto Arrayjet’s printing platform by accessing their in-house printing service (Arrayjet Advance), the board of CDI decided to technology transfer by purchasing an Arrayjet 1000 slide printer for development & manufacturing.
Arrayjet Advance allowed us to determine the number of protein samples (circa 20,000 printed in duplicate) to be delivered to the slides that were highly consistent with piezo actuation, non-contact inkjet printing. Arrayjet’s JetSpyder sample aspiration device effectively eliminates any cross-contamination between protein samples, so the quality of our slides is significantly improved. Previously we could produce just over 150 slides of acceptable quality in a print run, too slow a pace for the scale and growth of current and future demands; being able to print up to 1000 slides quickly, in a highly efficient manner was incredibly appealing to us. Arrayjet, led by their CEO Iain McWilliam, has proven to be knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with and I look forward to collaborating with their team in future developments.”
