Resources

MI offers highly customized arrays to meet your experimental needs. During the design process several technical terms specific to the physical microarray will be used. We offer our Glossary as a guide to visualizing some of the various options that MI is capable of manufacturing.

Other resources available here include a listing of Publications which relied on microarrays provided by MI. The various publications offer a glimpse into several avenues of investigation where MI microarrays were an integral portion of the study.

Protocols, genelists, gal files and other resources are gathered under the Downloads tab. Many of these same files are also found elsewhere on the MI web site. They are gathered here for your convenience.

MI Glossary

Array – the final product consisting of a series of probes arranged in an organized repeatable format on a substrate suitable for customers experimental conditions.

Assay area - the section of the substrate where the probes are placed.

Deposition - the placement of the probe material onto the substrate surface.

Probe - the material to be deposited onto the microarray surface. Examples are:

  • DNA Oligo
  • DNA (cDNA)
  • Proteins or peptides
  • Antibodies or antigens
  • Cell lysates
  • Small molecules

Gasket - a physical border material applied to the substrate to provide a discrete area for hybridization.

Replicates - often, for statistical and quality assurance purposes, each of the probes are deposited more than once onto the same substrate. Each copy of the probe is termed 'replicate'.

Schematic - a physical illustration of the assay area on the substrate.

Sub replicate – the replicate placement of a probe in close proximity (next to or within the same block) as the initial probe deposition.

Block – the depositions which make up the assay areas on a slide, typically created with an individual pin.

Substrate - the material that will receive the probes. Examples are:

  • Slides
  • Microtiter plates
  • Chips (custom wafer)

Substrate surface - the substrate surface is coated with a selected chemistry to facilitate bonding of the probes to the substrate. The chemistry is selected based on the probe type. Examples are:

  • Amino silane
  • Epoxide
  • Hydrogel
  • Nitrocellulose
