carbohydrate microarray

The concept and methodology of microarrays were in use as early as the 1980s. It was first introduced and illustrated in antibody microarrays (also as antibody matrix). Microarrays gain notable when DNA microarrays emerged as an exciting new biomolecular tool capable of probing the entire transcriptome of the cell in the mid of the 1990s. Nowadays, microarrays have been widespread across genomic research and can apply to a diverse range of applications in biology and medicine field.
