Affymetrix GeneChips™
Please note that we were able to reduce our pricing starting 12/16/2010.
All Affymetrix GeneChips are available to us at special Boston Academic Consortium prices. We provide both arrays and reagents to academic users at cost. Below we have listed the prices of some of the most commonly used arrays. If you don’t see the array you are interested in, you can find out about the full catalog of arrays that are available from Affymetrix at their website (http://www.affymetrix.com/products/index.affx) and then talk with us to discuss pricing. We can also discuss custom-array strategies if no commercial array is available for your experiment. If you are an industrial client, please inquire about our commercial prices.

†Array discontinued by Affymetrix. We have a small number of arrays remaining for use.
Reagents and Labor
The reagent fee covers our direct cost for the enzymes and materials required to prepare labeled cRNA and hybridize it to the GeneChip microarray. From start to finish, the sample labeling and hybridization takes about three days, and the labor fee covers our personnel costs for this processing. Our charge for labor is competitive with other facilities and includes assistance with data analysis, a service unique to the Boston University Microarray Resource.
Experimental Design and Data Analysis
In order to make sure that you get the most out of your microarray experiment, we provide users of the Microarray Resource with free data analysis assistance. This includes assistance with experimental design and statistical analysis, as well as access to software that allows sophisticated data mining and visualization.
