Hello all, I'm brand new here, but I'm in dire need of information regarding self-made slides. Has anyone ever used this for oligonucleotides and how...
Hello to all I'm a new array user and I would ask: how long can I use customized oligo arrays kept at room temperature?Should I have some problems in the image...
Clean and dry is the best storage. How good the microarrays work depends a lot on the surface chemistry used. If they were printed on poly-l-lysine slides...
Hi B, Don't be insulted by Todd's message. I doubt he's trying to belittle anyone's glass making abilities. I think he believes what he says, and my guess is...

Dear bcmcneil18 The reagents and chemicals are too nasty to bother with making your own slides. Just the process of getting good glass, and cleaning it to...
Hi Jamila, I would be surprised if they work but I would give a shot with one or two slides and see the damage that was done by storing at RT. However, to...
Hi, I'd like to have your feedback about telechem pins ( mainly 946MP3). Did you use them for a long time, how many spots did you achieve with the same batch?...
Hi Jamila, We spot 5' amino modified short oligos onto aldehyde slides (Cel Associates) and store them at room temperature in sealed plastic bags with...
Hi Jamila. One issue you don't want to overlook is that atmospheric 'debris'...everything from dust, pollen, stray chemicals and perhaps even ozone will affect...

To be more specific, the majority of my unique oligo sequences range from 18-25mers for oligont microarray. I'm not too sure if the direct parallel synthesis...
Thanks again Todd I apperciate the info. My oligos mainly range from 18-25mers, with the exception of a few 50mer. Anyhoo, do you recommend any journal or book...
Thanks again Chris appreciate the words of wisdom. My oligos mainly range from 18-25mers, with the exception of a few 50mer. I think depending on the length of...
Dear Erwan: Pin life depends greatly on the Z axis parameters of your microarrayer, pins can last much longer than what you're experiencing. We have...

18 bases is considered a "short" oligo. I would recommend using a C12 amino linker on the 5' end of the oligo and spot it out on SuperEpoxy2 surface ...
Dear Murali: Ethanol precipitation can be made to work, but if you're not really good at it will fail. Sarah is right, use a column based kit. There are...
