Microarray
Hybridization Station
Optimizing Microarray incubation by Micro
Agitation
DEMO STATIONS AVAILABLE! Try & Test ArrayBooster Yourself! Contact us for
Details on our Demonstration Program.
ArrayBooster
T
he ArrayBooster™ uses surface
acoustic waves (SAW) to effectively agitate the sample solution
during the incubation of DNA- and protein microarrays. The four
independently controlled chambers accept all standard slide formats.
As the incubation chambers have no valves or tubes the system works
without any dead volume. Sample volumes as low as 10 microliters can
be incubated and agitated.
Surface Acoustic Wave Agitation Overcomes
the Diffusion Limit of DNA Hybridization
Better Homogeneity
3 to 30 x Larger Signal-to-Noise Ratio for DNA Microarrays
3 to 5 x Faster DNA Hybridization
10 x Faster In-Situ Hybridization
Compact & Robust Design
No Changes to Operating Procedures and Protocols
Compatible with Standard Hyb and Washing Buffers
AdvaCard
The core of the ArrayBooster™ is the AdvaCard™. The
sample solution is sandwiched between the AdvaCard™ and the
microarray. Special fluidics prevent bubble formation while loading
the sample. The fluidic system has no moving parts making it very
reliable.
The AdvaCard™
is a micro-agitation chip card available in three different sizes
adapted to different spotting areas. To ensure optimal agitation
efficiency Advacards™ contain one, two or three agitation chips. A
radio frequency voltage feeding the nano pumps on the chips induces
quasi-chaotic streaming patterns in the sample solution. The
instrument‘s software allows the user to program various streaming
patterns providing very efficient agitation.
