Target holder options

Arrayjet offer a wide range of standard and customisable target holders;

  • Slides: Easy-load holders with individual springs to hold each slide accurately in place. Reload accuracy +/- 10 µm. 
  • Microplates: We offer holders for microarray-specific two part plates or premoulded polymer plates. 
  • Vacuum deck: Vacuum decks are available with a standard slide or plate mask, or a custom mask. The vacuum tray is available with integrated heating and/or cooling.
  • Heated/Cooled decks: All our target holder options are available with integrated heating and/or cooling. The temperature setpoint of the printing surface can be programmed to reach a specific temperature (-10 to +40 °C), or to respond automatically to environmental conditions in order to achieve dew-point.
  • Custom: We can work with your design team to create a compatible holder for any target. Custom print programming is also available for any target.
