ENHANCED SURFACE TREATMENTS
In addition to the chemistries you require on a microarray slide (amines, epoxy, polylysine) we now offer the same attachment chemistries on a new, ES surface.
Arrayer spot-size is often controlled by the surface energy of the coating — hydrophobic coatings give smaller spot sizes.
We provide a surface with microscopic canyons and valleys, but still uniformly coated with functional groups. You can use the same attachment chemistries while obtaining smaller, more uniform spot size.
Moreover, ES is microscopic — it will not affect the focusing or use of microarray spotters and scanners.
