ABSTRACT

Microarray technology is constantly evolving to meet new demands for research tools, sensors, and bioinformatics. Particularly, the detection of multiple classes of biomarkers on a single platform has the ability to advance areas, such as genomics and proteomics, where high throughput and large data sets are outpacing the sophistication of traditional technology. Herein we describe how the advances in microelectrode array technology, including electrode array design, electrode configuration, data management tools, surface chemistries, and selective patterning, can be used to address challenging needs for future applications.
