GENORAMA® MICROARRAY SLIDES AND SPOTTING SOLUTIONS

Genorama®  Microarray Slides are developed and tested primarily for DNA-based applications. However, nucleic acids, proteins, small molecules, cells and extracts can also be immobilized.

The activated glass slides are produced under rigorous quality control and tested for low background and good immobilization characteristics. As a result, the slides have a very clean and uniform surface, highly suitable for printing top quality microarrays. The microarray slides have a double-sided coating with a printable area of 23 x 73 mm.

Coated slides are packed in boxes of 25 and sealed in an alufoil bag to protect the activated surface from light and maintain a stabile storage environment.

The protocols of the stringent production procedures have been developed in Asper Biotech Ltd. and the process is certified to be in accordance with ISO9001 standards.

Asper also provides bar-coded slides upon request.

For binding unmodified DNA 
SA -1 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane 25x75x1.0
SA -0.1* 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane 24x60x0.15
  
For  binding aminated DNA  
SAL -1 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane + 1,4-Phenylenediisothiocyanate 25x75x1.0
SAL -1 ULTRA* 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane + 1,4-Phenylenediisothiocyanate 25x75x1.0
SAL -0.1** 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane + 1,4-Phenylenediisothiocyanate 24x60x0.15

* - same chemistry as the SAL, only the slide substrate is of higher quality level with optically flat surface.
** - 24 x 60 mm slides have one specially refined edge to ensure maximum uniformity of light distribution via total internal reflection excitation in the Genorama® QuattroImagerTM.

Slides are packed in boxes of 25 and 5.

Printed slides can be stored at 4°C for up to 6 months.

PROBE ATTACHMENT TO SiO2 SURFACE  

  

SA-
Unmodified oligos bind to aminosilane coated slide electrostatically. Oligos can be attached either at their 5' termini or via internal phosphate groups (backbone).  
 

         


  
SAL-
Aminated DNA attaches via 5' termini to  3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane + 1,4-Phenylenediisothiocyanate coated glass surface by formation of covalent bond.
