Abstract
In one example an apparatus can include a controller communicatively coupled to a droplet dispenser to deposit antibody fluid on a matrix of an immunoblotting array, the controller is to align the droplet dispenser with a protein band included in the matrix, instruct the droplet dispenser to deposit a first antibody fluid on to the protein band of the matrix, and instruct the droplet dispenser to deposit a second antibody fluid on to the protein band of the matrix, adjacent to the first antibody fluid.
Claims11
An apparatus, comprising:
- an immunoblotting array including a protein band;
- a droplet dispenser positioned over the immunoblotting array and comprising a first antibody liquid and a second antibody liquid and
- a controller coupled to the droplet dispenser and the immunoblotting array, the controller comprising a non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions, the controller configured to execute the instructions to control the droplet dispenser to deposit antibody liquid on the immunoblotting array, wherein the controller is configured by the instructions to:
- instruct the droplet dispenser to move over the protein band included in the immunoblotting array;
- instruct the droplet dispenser to deposit the first antibody liquid onto the protein band of the immunoblotting array;
- and
- instruct the droplet dispenser to deposit the second antibody liquid onto a portion of the protein band of the immunoblotting array separate from the first antibody liquid.

A system, comprising:
- an immunoblotting array including a protein band;
- a droplet dispenser positioned over the immunoblotting array and comprising a first antibody liquid and a second antibody liquid;
- and
- a controller coupled to the droplet dispenser and the immunoblotting array, the controller comprising a non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions, the controller configured to execute the instructions to control the droplet dispenser to deposit a plurality of antibody liquids onto the immunoblotting array;
- and
- an optical sensor coupled to the controller, the controller configured by the instructions to determine, based on signals from the optical sensor, a location of the protein band of the immunoblotting array and instruct the droplet dispenser to move over the location of the protein band, the controller configured by the instructions to cause the droplet dispenser to:
- deposit the first antibody liquid onto the protein band responsive to the droplet dispenser being positioned above the location of the protein band;
- and
- deposit the second antibody liquid onto a portion of the protein band separate from the first antibody liquid responsive to the deposit of the first antibody onto the protein band.
