Array Services
The Analytical Instrumentation Core now offers Array Services!
Download our Array Service Booklet here for more information on the service!
Our new Array Service Facility has formally opened for business! Pathway PCR arrays allow for the analysis of 84 genes (x 4 sample replicates + housekeeping genes) in one 384-well PCR plate to determine the expression profile of a set of genes relevant to a disease or pathway. There are over 100 cataloged arrays in available for human, rat, and mouse lines. If you have a list of targeted genes and want custom arrays, they are also available allowing for the analysis of 60 to 384 genes of interest specific to your analysis.
A list of the most popular PCR Arrays are below along with a general pricing for the service. Please contact a member of the AIC if you have any further questions or to schedule an appointment to discuss your research goals.
