Abstract

An apparatus (110) for printing microarrays of at least one substance on at least one slide (158) is provided comprising a base (114) and a platter (112) mounted to the base (114) for rotational movement about a z-axis. At least one arm (26) is mounted to the base (114) above the platter (112) for radial movement with respect to the z-axis of the platter (112). A print head (134) is mounted to each of the at least one arm (126) for reciprocating movement along the z-axis and, the print head (134) having at least one substance-dispensing device (140) thereon. The at least one substance can be printed onto the at least one slide (158) in the form of a microarray by the incremental rotational movement of the platter (112) about the z-axis, the radial movement of the at least one arm (126), and by the z-axis movement of the print head (134). A method of printing microarrays is also provided.
