Applied Biosystems 1700 Expression Array System

Description

Microarrays are powerful tools for discovering levels of gene expression. Geneservice have invested in the latest gene expression microarray system from Applied Biosystems so that the widest choice of platform is available to our customers. The key features of this system are:
Sensitivity: a detection threshold of as little as a femtomole of expresseed mRNA and requiring as little as 500ng of starting total RNA.
Content: each probe is associated with a gene sequence buiult on unique Celera data and validated by public RefSeqs all of which have been curated.
Pipeline: complete integrated solutions for gene expression research including Applied Biosystems Bioinformatic tools and ready-to-go gene expression TaqMan assays for validation of results.

Application

We require total RNA which we then process to fragmented labelled mRNA and hybridise to an array. Typical applications for the ABI 1700 Expression Array System include:

• To monitor global mRNA abundance in human or mouse;
• To identify genes that are uniquely expressed in samples of normal or diseased tissue or tissues or cells exposed to different environments.

Platforms

• Quantum Appligene Template-Tamer™ PCR workstation provides a safe RNAse-free environment.
• Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer estimates RNA sample integrity.
• AB1700 Array Scanner uses proprietary chemiluminescent technology.
• AB1700 software and Celera Discovery System software.
