High throughput stand-alone system with the capacity to array 90 slides from 70 source microplates and includes automated lid removal and replacement to aintain sample integrity
For studying the expression of thousands of genes in parallel, the new QArray2 is a high-throughput, fully featured microarrayer from Genetix that is ideal for accurate, high-density arraying of cDNAs, oligos and proteins.
The QArray2 is a high-throughput stand-alone system with the capacity to array 90 slides from 70 source microplates and includes automated lid removal and replacement to maintain sample integrity.
The combination of 1æm resolution on all linear servo drive axes and high-precision flat bed design ensure accurate printing and reproducible spot location.
The patented 48-pin high-precision low-friction (HPLF) head, a unique feature of Genetix arrayers, generates arrays and sub-grids of exceptional regularity.
Furthermore, the QArray2 has been engineered with minimal moving parts, for long-term reliability and excellent performance.
The QArray2 comes fully enclosed with Hepa filtration for dust-free printing, and offers a number of optional extras including humidity control and source plate chiller to provide the optimum environment for printing and sample integrity.
A high-pressure wash station with compressed air drying cleans the pins and eliminates carryover.
The intuitive, yet powerful QSoft Microarray software gives the user maximum control over array design, spot density, number and type of spotting pins used and pin wash routines.
Sample tracking through QSoft Library Manager seamlessly integrates with the Aquire laser scanner from Genetix and also with other leading microarray scanners.
Genetix supplies a complete range of instruments, reagents and accessories covering the entire microarraying process from preparation of sample DNA, spotting of slides, slide labelling and processing and spot detection and analysis.
The Genetix microarraying range has been developed and designed to ensure optimised performance at every step of the microarray process such that reproducible high quality arrays are obtained every time.
