Custom Arrays
The facility is well equipped to provide custom microarrays for academic and industrial clients. So far we have successfully spotted cDNAs, 50 to 70 base pair oligonucleotides and 18 to 22 base pair short primers. In addition to nucleic acids, the Biochip Arrayer can spot antibodies, proteins, peptides and bacterial cells as well. We produce arrays of the highest quality but at a low density (up to about 2,000 spots per slide).

Array Design
We assist all clients in designing the appropriate microarray for your needs. We take the guesswork out of array alignment and maintain a high level of spatial precision throughout the printing run. Specification with regard to array design and spot placement is tightly monitored. This attention to detail results in saved scanner time and fewer auto format failures.

Hybridization
We provide extensive on site training and support for all HybStation and Agilent’s Hybridization Oven users.

Scanning and Data Analysis
Support is provided for spotted microarray scanning with ProscanArray and basic quantitative analysis of microarray data with the QuantArray Express 3.0 software.

Analysis of RNA, DNA, Proteins and Cells
Quantity and quality of your RNA, DNA, proteins and cells are determined with the help of Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.
