...d." Lutcavage notes that this year's success is due to a convergence of people, know-how, and funding that allows researchers access to resources like spotter planes and commercial fishermen. And, says Kara Dodge, the UNH Ph.D. student leading the tagging effort, the turtles are cooperating. "It's leat...GenomiPhi: protocol for BAC amplification and fabrication of slides for array CGH
...m phosphate, pH 8.5) was added to the DNA sample, mixed thoroughly and spotted onto CodeLink Activated and UltraGAPS slides using the Piezorray™ spotter to generate eight replicate spots at a relative humidity of 42%. UV cross-linking (3000 µJoules) was used to immobilize the DNA onto the UltraGA...Amplification of Mouse cDNAs for Microarrays Using the Eppendorf MasterTaq Kit
... of ~200 g/ml in 25 l 50% DMSO-H2O. Many microarray spotters use 200 nl per print run and have a void volume of ~5 l. Assuming the spotter can print 36 arrays per run, this equates in theory to approximately 3,600 microarray slides. The working number of slides however is lower t...AccuSpot LC-MALDI Plate Spotter from Shimadzu
