Advanced Technology Center Microarray Facility (NIH/NCI/CCR/ATC)
Manufacture protocol
Microarrays are printed with GeneMachines robotic arrayer from Genomic Solutions (http://www.genomicsolutions.com) that is fitted with a printhead containing 32 SMP3 printing pins from Telechem International (http://www.arrayit.com). The human cDNA probe set is based on 9128 PCR products from Incyte's human UniGEM 2.0 library (http://www.incyte.com). The set includes 122 Incyte EST clones; 8998 identifed with a public GenBank Accession; 8905 Unique GenBank Accessions; 8882 mapped into Hs UniGene Build #131; 8281 Unique UniGene Clusters; 1179 EST clusters; 7102 Named clusters. The cDNA probes are distributed into 384-well polypropylene plates (Genetix, 384 micro array) and dissolved in 3XSSC print buffer at a concentration of 50-100 ug/ml. The microarray spot densities are 235 microns (center-to-center), and one spot is printed per probe per slide. The microarrays printed on Corning CMT-GAPS II slides (Item #40004) coated with amino-silane and post-processed according to the manufacturer's protocol.
