Services - Microarrays

The facility has an Affymetrix 428 scanner that can be used to analyze custom as well as selected commercial spotted DNA microarrays. The 428 scanner can analyze any microarray on a glass slide (25x75x1mm) that has been probed with DNA labeled with Cy3, or Cy5 as well as other common fluorescent dyes. The scanner produces a tiff image file and an Excel spreadsheet file with the data so that it can be analyzed in any number of different programs.
