Abstract

See full text

Methods and devices for depositing a nucleic acid on a substrate surface are provided. In the subject methods, a thermal inkjet head loaded with nucleic acid fluid composition is positioned in opposing relationship to, e.g. over, a substrate surface. Actuation of the thermal inkjet results in the expulsion of volume of the nucleic acid composition onto the substrate surface. The subject methods and devices find use in a variety of applications, particularly in the preparation of nucleic acid arrays, and more particular arrays of oligonucleotides or polynucleotides, e.g. cDNAs.
