Products - Genemachines OmniGrid 100

Manufacturer: Genomic Solutions Inc.

Description:

The OmniGrid ™ 100 microarrayer is a high-capacity multi-axis microarrayer that prints biological samples onto solid substrates with speeds that give high- throughput array production.

The OmniGrid 100 can be integrated with an optional Server Arm 3 for fully automated handling of up to 72 input plates.

Designed with the researcher in mind, the OmniGrid 100 microarrayer incorporates features that maximize flexibility and ease-of-use in protocol design. With a highly intuitive software interface, end-users have the ability to control and customize sample tracking, array formats, pin configurations, and wash protocols for specific research needs.
