ARRALYZE Glass Arrays
High precision for high throughput
With the ground-breaking LIDE technology we can introduce high-aspect ratio microfeatures absolutely defect free into thin glass. The microfeatures can be wells or more complex shapes such as pockets with arbitrary shapes, channels or grooves. Feature size can range from ten micrometers to several hundred micrometers.
Our unique high-precision, high-throughput LIDE process is compatible with most commercial glass types. Since LIDE is a digital process you can even design your own arrays that match your experiment best. Of course, you can also pick a design from our portfolio. Take advantage of the benefits that glass as an inert and highly transparent material offers and start your cellomics experiments right away.
No need to compromise on the number of experiments
- Reduce costs due to small sample volumes
- Well dimensions fit single cell and cell cluster sizes
- High number of parallel experiments due to small footprint
We put freedom of design back into your assays
- Arrays can be tailored to your experiment
- Most silicon dioxide-based glass types possible
- Wide range of shapes and dimensions for wells feasible
Rely on your experimental results
- Our chips are 100% glass, an ideal material for bio sciences
- Cross contamination due to diffusion suppressed completely
- No depletion of reagents into glass matrix
