Inkjet spotting apparatus for manufacturing microarrays and method of spotting using the same

Abstract

Provided are an inkjet-type spotting apparatus for manufacturing microarrays and a method of spotting using the same. The spotting apparatus includes a plurality of reservoirs which are arranged in rows and filled with a predetermined biomolecule solution; and a plurality of nozzles, each corresponding to one of the reservoirs and through which the biomolecule solution is ejected, wherein a distance between the nozzles in a first direction is larger than a distance between spots in a spot array, and the biomolecule solution is ejected sequentially from the nozzles in each of the rows onto a solid support while the apparatus moves in the first direction to form the spot array.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
