Agilent Technologies G2539A DNA Microarray Scanner

Description

Agilent’s DNA Microarray Scanner with SureScan High-Resolution technology is the key component of microarray-based applications in which increased coverage of the genome is a necessity. Whether performing gene expression studies, array CGH, miRNA profiling, or other novel applications, scanning technology is responsible for providing the highest quality data. The scanner provides an expanded dynamic range of 6 orders of magnitude and a unique autofocus feature that coordinates continual focus across the array, adjusting for any potential glass aberrations or curvatures. The system is fully integrated and all components are guaranteed for enhanced functionality when used with Agilent’s microarrays, which helps ensure the highest levels of sensitivity and data quality. Dynamic range: 104 (16-bit data format), 105 (20-bit data format),106 (with XDR scanning) Dynamic auto focus: Continually adjusts scanner’s focus, keeping features in focus at all times Autoloader: 48-slide carousel allows for hands-off operation Integrated barcode reader: Reads code 128 (A,B,C), Code 39, Code 93, and CODABAR Compatible dyes: Cyanine 3 and Cyanine 5, and Alexa 647, 555, and 660 Laser information: SHG-YAG laser, 532nm; Helium-Neon laser, 633nm Scan window maximum: 21.6 mm x 71 mm PMT adjustment: Allows adjustment of signal levels from 100% (default) to 1% Detection limit: 0.05 chromophores per square micron Pixel placement error: 1 pixel at 5 micron resolution Uniformity: 5% CV global non-uniformity; average local non-uniformity is typically 1% based on 100 micron features Scan time: 2-color simultaneous data acquisition in 15 minutes per for 3 micron scans and 20 minutes for 2 micron scans (scan region of 61 mm x 21.6 mm) Dimensions (H x W x D): 550 x 900 x 635 mm Weight: 98 kg
