The GeneChip miRNA array from Affymetrix is a powerful tool for studying the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their importance in cancer and other diseases and the discovery of biomarkers and disease signatures.
In summary, it offers:
- Unmatched coverage — content from 71 species including human, mouse, rat, canine and monkey featured on one array make this a powerful miRNA analysis platform for both research and pharmaceutical drug development;
- Specialised miRNA labelling assay — enhanced labelling chemistry yields sensitivity less than 10 attomole with industry-leading low noise-to-signal ratios (CV <10%), maximising data output. Total assay time is less than 45 minutes and this is the only miRNA assay with in-process quality control, according to the company;
- Low cost miRNA screening — it claims the lowest price per sample microarray-based miRNA screening platform available on the market today;
- Complete analysis solution from Millennium Science — from data QC using the free QCToolBox from Affymetrix to high-powered statistical analysis using the dedicated miRNA analysis module from Partek Genomics Suite, the company has all of the users downstream miRNA analysis needs covered.
