Premium substrates for microarray™ is used on a standard microscope slide 1 x 3", selective glass. All of the following slides are pre-packaged in a secure, no-contact mBox™, then vacuum-sealed in a foil barrier bag prior to shipping. Each package contains 20 slides.
Poly-L-Lysine Coated Substrates
Using premium select, low fluorescence glass with a consistent uniform coating of poly-L-lysine these slides yield a dense layer of amine groups for initial ionic attachment of the negatively charged phosphate groups in the DNA backbone.
The DNA can subsequently be attached covalently to the slide by either baking or by UV irradiation. Our aging and packaging techniques ensure a product with a shelf life in excess of 6 months. Each lot is tested for background uniformity prior to shipping. The slides arrive ready for spotting – no pre-washing required.
