Agilent Microarrays

The Bauer Core provides access to and limited support for Agilent’s microarray technology. Agilent makes a variety of microarrays such as gene expression arrays for various organisms, comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) arrays, and arrays for use with samples prepared by chromatin immunoprecipiation (ChIP on Chip).

Agilent Microarray users should prepare samples and hybridize them in their own lab using Agilent’s hybridization chambers. The Bauer Core has two hybridization chambers and an oven that beginners can use to run a limited number of evaluation arrays before committing to the technology. The Bauer Core’s Agilent Scanner is available to scan arrays and analyze the data.
