London nano-prototyping foundry opts for Arrayjet’s Sprint microarrayer

Arrayjet today announced that the first Sprint microarrayer sold in the UK will be installed at the Bio Nano Centre (BNC), a joint venture of University College London and Imperial College London. Sprint’s non-contact inkjet technology will support rapid prototyping for protein microarraying and precision deposition in flexible formats. Furthermore, the versatility of the Arrayjet Sprint will enable the BNC to develop multi-scale fabrication technology combining micron scale patterning with nanolithography techniques.

Professor Tony Cass of Imperial College said, “The rapid prototyping facility in the BNC requires flexible, high precision and low volume liquid dispensing. The Arrayjet Sprint was chosen as it offers these capabilities and complements our existing micro and nanofabrication capabilities. We are delighted that access to the Sprint will be part of the BNC value proposition.”

Arrayjet Product Manager, Karen Allison said, “We are very pleased that Arrayjet technology is assisting in the BNC development programme. Sprint is already establishing itself as the instrument of choice for production of high quality microarrays in research and development environments. This installation at BNC also demonstrates the much wider range of applications addressed by Arrayjet’s innovative inkjet technology.”
