Spotter Platform for Microarrays
Starting position: using existing technology and process knowledge in research laboratories as a basis, the objective was to develop a highly accurate, scalable industrial production platform for manufacturing microarrays. It will enable the customer to develop new applications for its piezo-dispenser technology and bring them onto the market.
The defined tasks included:
-
A preliminary project for designing the product image
-
Conceptual design and development of the overall system and the assemblies
-
Production and testing of a test platform
The order lead time was six weeks for the preliminary project and seven months from the beginning of the system concept phase until the supply of the test platform. The development procedure was carried out according to the simultaneous engineering process.
The result included:
-
A platform concept with requirements and a 3D product image
-
System concept
-
Partial concepts for the mechanism, control, software, and calibration/vision
-
Functioning test system for process development
-
Repeat accuracy better than 20µm from process station to process station
Today, the test platform is an important means in developing new customer-specific applications. The ultimate proof for Scienion's strategy and Helbling's flexible and scalable platform concept, however, are the several marketed sciFLEXARRAYER S100 systems and their solid field performance.
