The Slide Spotting Robot is an instrument for preparation of CelluSpots™ arrays on coated microscope slides. Alternatively dot blots or other pipetting procedures can be automated.


The Slide Spotting Robot is an instrument for preparation of CelluSpots™ arrays on coated microscope slides. Up to 1000 positions on a standard 26x75 mm slide in freely defined grids can be addressed. The work area holds two microtiter plates (96 or 384 well) as source and 29 slides. The software allows definition and handling of spot arrays in a convenient graphical format. The pattern of spots, duplicates as well as marker spots is defined for the first slide and then duplicated as required. A typical pattern has 2 areas of 384 spots (duplicate) in an alignment frame made with a different colour. The built-in dilutor unit can deliver volumes as low as 100 nl using a fine tip needle touching the slide surface.

The Slide Spotting Robot is delivered with software, manual and a plexiglass hood for protection from dust. The software is compatible with Windows XP. The PC is included.
