Abstract
The present invention relates to a spotting device for fabricating microarrays of biological materials and a spotting pin inserted therein. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a spotting device, which comprises several pins and pin-guiding holder that allows the pins to move accurately and rectilinearly toward up-down direction by guiding and supporting pins at several points, and spotting pins inserted therein.
Claims21
A spotting device for fabricating microarrays of biological samples, which comprises:
- a plurality of spotting pins for spotting biological samples on a plate;
- an upper guiding plate which has pin-inserting holes to form at least two (2) pin-supporting points;
- a guide wire which forms at least one (1) pin-supporting point;
- a regulation block wherein said guide wires are mounted in a plurality of up-down rows;
- a spring plate which pushes said regulation block inserted in the frame toward a first side;
- a regulation screw which pushes said regulation block toward a side opposed said first side;
- a frame wherein said regulation block is inserted, and wherein said spring plate is inserted, and wherein said regulation screw is mounted;
- and
- a lower guiding plate which has a plurality of pin-inserting holes to form at least two pin-supporting points.
A spotting pin for fabricating microarrays of biological samples, comprising a capillary part and a reservoir part connected on said capillary part, having an inner diameter of said reservoir part that is larger than an inner diameter formed within said capillary part.
