R&D 100 Award for Innovative 'Chemical Inkjet Printer'-Technology from Shimadzu and Proteome Systems
The ChIP-1000 piezoelectric 'drop-on-demand' ink-jet technology enables precise and reproducible delivery of reagents. It supports micro-scale on-membrane digestion of proteins using pico to nanoliter volumes of reagents delivered to PVDF electroblots from 2-D gels. The key technology areas the ChIP-1000 has been developed for are post-translational modifications, clinical proteomics and the increased sequence coverage of proteins. Piezoelectric solvent delivery systems deliver picoliter volumes of reagents to defined locations on the PVDF membrane (supports four different chemistries for multiple enzyme digests on the same spot.) The ChIP-1000 is the first product based on a US patent of Proteome Systems .
