Research and Development of Mini Bench-top Printing Robot THU-Biorobot Ⅲ

This paper introduces a mini bench-top printing robot THU-Biorobot Ⅲ,including its function,mechanical architecture,control system and software design.THU-Biorobot Ⅲ is based on modularization design and is composed of a built-in environmental control module,a micro-titer-plate(MTP) replacing module and a printing pin cleaning and drying module,etc.THU-Biorobot Ⅲ uses contact printing technology for microarray fabrication.
