Ultra Precision Microwell Arrays
 
microPEP is pleased to offer its first in a series of Microwell Array products.  Used mainly for biomedical assay applications such as DNA sequencing, the microscope sized "slide" holds a total of 42 million discrete wells that are 3 microns in size and depth.  Each well is segregated and precision fabricated to accommodate high speed, automated individual assays using fluorescence microscopy.
 
Micron Level Detail
The detail of the Array can only be clearly seen on a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and is even smaller than the micron level detail of imprinted digital CD's.  Using microPEP's proprietary processing methods we injection mold near nano scale features across a macro sized surface with extreme positional accuracy. 
Significant Value over Glass and Embossing
There is a significant need in genomics research and discovery for higher density DNA sequencing platforms. microPEP 's Microwell Arrays increase the capacity of current competitive array technology by 40X.  In addition, this technology provides significant cost advantages over etched glass and embossing methods at volume production.
