High-quality, reproducible data through minimised process variability

Reducing the variation that occurs when samples are processed manually ensures that only the true biological variability in your samples is identified, thereby giving you greater confidence in your results.

Control of potentially damaging Ozone levels in your lab

Ozone can rapidly degrade cyanine 5 (Cy5), the fluorescent dye commonly used to label DNA or RNA in microarray experiments. Cyanine 3 (Cy3) is much less affected by ozone, meaning that the degradation of the Cy5 channel in any two-colour microarray experiment will result in an incorrect Cy5/Cy3 ratio, resulting in unreliable data. We supply a range of ozone cabinets built to accommodate scanners and automation instruments that provide a safe, ozone-controlled environment for array processing. Find out more about the potentially damaging effects of ozone in our tutorial article.
