CelluSpots™ are arrays of
peptide-cellulose-conjugates spotted onto planar surfaces such as glass
slides. Peptides are synthesized on individual disks consisting of a
modified cellulose support which can be dissolved after synthesis. The
solutions of individual peptides covalently linked to macromolecular
cellulose are then spotted onto a surface of choice. Each disk is
placed in a single well of a holding frame with 384 positions connected
to the vacuum device of the
MultiPep RS
instrument. Up to 768 peptides can be synthesized in parallel on two
frames placed in the instrument. An upgrade kit with hardware and
software is available. This procedure is subject to extensive licensing
conditions.
