Figure 1. Microarray printed with dilutions of ArrayIt® Green540 and Red640 fluorescent dyes using a SpotBot® 2 Upgraded System equipped with four 946MP4 Pins and a 946PH4 Printhead. All samples were printed in quintuplicate at 200-µm center-to-center spacing on SuperAmine Substrates.  The uniformity of the rows and columns of printed spots reveals the excellent printing performance with the SpotBot® 2 Upgraded System.  The space bar denotes 500 µm in the image.

Figure 2.  Shown is a photograph of the SpotBot®2 Personal Microarrayer including the accessories. The translucent wash buffer reservoir, orange air compressor for the dry station, silver peristaltic pump for the wash station, silver megasonic power supply and humidification system including the orange air compressor, humidification reservoir and gray valve are shown correctly configured behind the instrument. The modular and compact accessories improve system utility and performance and simplify maintenance and repair. Inside the instrument, the microplate, L-bracket and temperature/humidity pen are visible.
