Abstract

The systematic design and construction of customized protein microarrays are critical for the further successful screening of biological samples in biomedical research projects. In general protein microarrays are classified according to the content, detection method, and printing methodology, among others. Here, we are focused on the type of printing: contact and noncontact. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages; however, in any of the approaches, a prior well design and systematic preparation of materials and/or instruments required for the customized antibody arrays is critical. In this chapter, the process for an antibody microarray by a noncontact printer is described in detail from the preparation of array content to the analysis, including quality control steps.
