  May 2008::Arrayjet Accelerates Functionality Enhancements

Dalkeith UK: Arrayjet today introduced a number of enhancements to its successful Marathon and Sprint microarray platforms. The Array Multiplier™ software module brings significant additional capabilities and functionalities to Arrayjet’s range of inkjet microarrayers.

“The microarray market has willingly adopted our technology, though we are still new to the market”, said Commercial Director Duncan J Hall, ”and now we are responding by ramping up its development significantly and bringing new functionalities to the market, such as Array Multiplier, which enables printing of multi-pad slides or mini-arrays." Hall continued, “When you consider that no user intervention with the print head or JetSpyder™ is required to print these arrays, the speed with which we can print them, and the whole package is much more attractive to potential users.”

Array Multiplier nicely complements Arrayjet’s North American distribution partner, BioMicro Systems, Inc., developer of the MAUI® Hybridization System. “We are excited about the new Array Multiplier software which further expands the compatibility between Arrayjet inkjet microarrayers and the MAUI Microarray Product Suite” stated Jessica Barrett, BioMicro Systems Sales and Marketing Director.

  May 2008::Arrayjet Pushes Microarray Spotter Throughput
 

Edinburgh UK: Arrayjet today announced the release of the new Ultra-Marathon Inkjet Microarrayer. The Ultra-Marathon is based on the same robust platform as its predecessors, the Marathon and Super-Marathon Inkjet microarrayers. The Ultra-Marathon takes the capacity and throughput of microarraying to a whole new level however; available with and without the microplate stacker module launched in 2005, the Ultra-Marathon adds patented slide handling capability to the platform, increasing its capability to 1,000 1x3" (25x75mm) glass slides. Combined with the recently announced Array Multiplier™ software module this enables users to specify almost any number of mini-arrays per slide. One could imagine 1000 slides each bearing, for example, 16 mini-arrays. This means a total of 16,000 microarrays could be produced in a single, fully automated print run.

Company founder Dr Howard Manning, Arrayjet's inkjet expert, stated, "The Ultra-Marathon was originally conceived with functionality beyond what was thought required. Time has shown that this throughput is exactly what the market needs to push forwards.

Commercial Director Duncan Hall commented, " We already have an Ultra-Marathon installed and working in the field, and have strong expressions of interest in a further five to ten instruments, all prior to the product launch!"
