A DEVICE FOR PRODUCING MICROSCOPIC ARRAYS OF MOLECULES, A METHOD FOR PRODUCING MICROSCOPIC ARRAYS OF MOLECULES

摘要

A device (200) for producing microscopic arrays of molecules is provided, the device comprising a plurality of inverted cavities (218) containing solutions (217), a substrate adapted to be received by the cavities (218) for extracting the solutions (217), a substrate (209) for depositing the extracted solutions (217) onto a location on a matrix (210) and a quality control monitoring system for verifying that the solutions (217) are deposited onto the location on the matrix (210). A process for producing an array of molecules is also provided, the process comprising providing each solution from its respective inverted cavity; loading each solution at a predetermined position in an array; and verifying that each solution is loaded onto its respective position on the array.
