Dual mode gene expression microarray platform

Agilent Technologies has launched a dual-mode, one-colour/two-colour microarray platform, offering researchers flexibility and performance for gene expression research.

The dual-mode microarrays can be used for either one-colour or two-colour experiments to match researchers' requirements. By combining the flexibility of the dual-mode gene expression platform and the ability for users to design their own microarrays through the eArray website, Agilent now offers a versatile gene expression microarray platform.

The sensitivity (limit of detection) of the dual-mode microarrays is enhanced by the 60-mer probes, made possible by Agilent's proprietary inkjet (in situ) microarray manufacturing process. Users can take advantage of the flexibility and performance of the dual-mode microarrays without the need to invest in additional capital equipment.
