“…[3] The standard method of fabrication for microarrays is pin-spotting-a method in which a robotic system deposits small volumes of a solution containing a probe (usually DNA, RNA, antibody, or protein) onto a glass, silicon, or polymer-based substrate. [4] Alternative methods include microstamping, inkjet printing, laser writing, or electrospray deposition, among others [5,6] . These substrates can be derivatized with poly-L-lysine, polyamidoamine dendrimer, amino-terminated silanes, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, or other reactive groups that facilitate attachment.…”
