  • Patent number: 6991311
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for introducing micro-volume liquid. The method includes the following steps. A multi-channel inkjet print head is provided. The multi-channel inkjet print head includes a nozzle plate and a cartridge. The nozzle plate includes a plurality of nozzles. The cartridge includes a plurality of channels, communicating with the nozzles on the nozzle plate, and a plurality of openings located at the channels. The nozzle plate contacts with a buffer. The buffer is introduced into the channels via the nozzles on the nozzle plate by pressure. Reagents are introduced into the channels through the openings.

  • Publication number: 20050170361
    Abstract: A method of preparing reaction regions for biochips. First, a first member and a second member are provided as two carriers of biochips. At least one spacer is disposed between the first member and the second member to form a reaction region between the first member and the second member. Then, a sample solution is filled in the reaction regions.

  • Publication number: 20050170383
    Abstract: A microarray hybridization assembly for conducting hybridization assay analysis is disclosed. The microarray assembly comprises a slide, a slide cover, and a spacer disposed between the slide and slide cover. The slide cover is placed over the slide and the spacer maintains a gap between the parallel surfaces of the slide and slide cover to create a reaction region for hybridization reactions between attached probe molecules and target molecules of a hybridization solution. The slide assembly is placed into a heat shrinkage bag. The bag and slide assembly are then heated in a heat cycle sufficient to seal the bag around at least three sides of the slide assembly. An optional heat shrinkage cap can be fitted over the fourth side of the slide assembly and heated in a second heat cycle to seal the fourth side of the slide assembly after a hybridization solution is introduced into the reaction region of the slide assembly.

  • Publication number: 20040259261
    Abstract: Here discloses a method for manufacturing microarrays and verifying the quality of the produced microarrays at the same time. The method includes (a) providing a plurality of reagents; (b) loading the plurality of reagents on a microdispenser in a predetermined arrangement; (c) dispensing the reagents on a test array through said microdispenser, and identifying the reagents on said test array; (d) dispensing said reagents on a plurality of microarrays; and (e) taking an image through an image-recording device for checking the spots of reagents on the microarrays.
