Hi Mike, It is strange that a dye-bleaching problem would differentially affect the first few rows in each block... We have seen similar issues which have...
Dear Sidek, what are you looking at SNP genotyping or expression.Both counts Illumina is way ahead wrt to content,redundancy and the cost per sample.. Cheers ...

I agree with Aaron that lack of mixing during hybridization could be the problem. LifterSlip may be better than the conventional cover slip, but I also...

Yes, do the "180 degree test". Scan you microarray, then turn it around and scan it again. If you see the same top to bottom problem on both scans, then the...
