GeneChip System

Sample Submission

The most critical factor toward a successful microarray experiment is the QUALITY of your original RNA. Excellent experiment design, chip manufacturing, target labeling, bioinformatics, and annotation can only work if you provide a high quality of experimental RNA.

PLEASE PROVIDE ALL THE DETAILED INFORMATION REQUESTED ON THE SUBMISSION FORM.

Affymetrix Sample Submission Guideline

The Microarray Facility offers two types of service on the Affymetrix GeneChip system. Please select the appropriate service according to your laboratory needs.

• Full Service*
  We accept good quality total RNA samples. The RNA is subjected to an initial checkup by Agilent BioAnalyzer, followed by double-stranded cDNA synthesis, in vitro transcription/ target labeling, hybridization/control mixture preparation, chip-hybridization, and post-processing procedure. You receive data stored on a CD.
• Partial Service*
  We accept biotin-labeled fragmented cRNA. The RNA will be used directly for preparation of a hybridization cocktail based on the information provided, followed by chip hybridization and post-processing procedure.

* Please bring along your data CD at the next sample submission
