Key Challenges in Microarray Technology

At PolyPico Technologies, our core advantage in microarray applications lies in our ability to precisely build up microdots through the controlled deposition of thousands of picoliter-sized droplets.

Conventional dispensing methods that rely on larger droplets often leads to uncontrolled spreading, merging, and inconsistent spacing. In comparison, our non-contact technology enables highly structured, repeatable, and tightly packed arrays with exceptional accuracy.

This level of precision is particularly valuable. We see this in applications such as reagent dispensing, diagnostics, and lab-on-a-chip systems. Here, maximizing reagent density within minimal space is critical.

What happens if we enable more spots in smaller areas without compromising uniformity or performance. We empower researchers and developers to achieve greater efficiency, resolution, and functionality in their microarray designs.

✅ Accurately dispense nanoliter-to-picoliter volumes for reagents, antibodies, and samples.
✅ Unique and innovative fluid control technology that allows us to handle challenging biological fluids, where other solutions can struggle.
✅ Improve assay consistency and reproducibility at scale.
✅ Accelerate development of microfluidic and POC diagnostic devices.

In the bottom of a 96 well plate, we put down 30 picoliter droplets at 1,200 droplets per second.

Building up arrays with thousands of picoliter drops gives much more homogeneity.
