Microarray Slides

We offer one of the broadest product portfolios of microarray slides on the market. Our products include plastic and glass slides as well as functionalized 96-well plates for DNA-, peptide-, glycan-, or protein-microarrays. Applications range from low density microarrays for diagnostic tests to ultra-high density arrays for pharma screening.

2D-reactive Glass Slides

For cost-sensitive applications we have a range of 2D (2-dimensional)-reactive glass slides that are manufactured from high quality glass with an ultra-flat surface and low inherent fluorescence. The glass is coated with a thin silane layer that will covalently bind most types of bio-molecules. The defect-free surface features uniform silane layers that provide a high covalent coupling efficiency together with a very low background. The slides are easy to use, and are fully compatible with all commercially available arraying and scanning instruments.

3D-reactive Glass Slides

PolyAn’s 3D-functionalized microarray Slides are functionalized with a three-dimensional (3D)-surface chemistry comprised of a long-chain polymer containing a defined number of reactive groups. This polymer is covalently linked to the surface of the slide.

Technical specifications

Dimensions: The slides are produced with standard dimensions of 25 x 75 x 1 mm. 

Packaging: The slides are packaged in inert atmospheric boxes, with a capacity of 25 or 5 slides per box.

Storage: PolyAn’s slides are characterised by a long shelf-life when stored dry, at 4-8°C and protected from sunlight. All slides are packaged in boxes under Argon atmosphere to avoid contamination with particles. The Argon atmosphere also minimises degradation of the reactive surface through contact with air or humidity.
