description: spotted DNA/cDNA (double-spotted array containing 6240 yeast ESTs derived from PCR amplification of synthetic EST clones, plus 320 control spots of Arabidopsis totalling 6.4K).
  Grid rows: 12; grid columns: 4; rows: 17; columns: 16, grid to grid distance: 4500 um; spot to spot distance: 200 um; spot size: 100 um.
manufacture_protocol: Microarrays are printed on UltraGAPS slides (Corning Inc.) using hihg-precision robotics. Printed arrays are processed following Corning's protocol and are ready-to-use.
  1. Acquisition of bacterial clone set — our Yeast 6.4k clone set is derived from Research Genetics Genepairs. Detailed information about the ORFs and sequences can be found at http://www.yeastgenome.org/
  2. Clone set is PCR amplified and DNA purified in working 96 well plates.
  3. The purified DNA is then transferred to 384 well source plates with DNA concentration ranging from 0.10ug/ul to 0.25ug/ul.  These are used for spotting.
  4. Microarrays are printed on UltraGAPS ™  slides (Corning Inc.) using hihg-precision robotics (up to 48 pins or print heads). Printed arrays are processed following Corning's protocol and are ready-to-use.
  Up to 120 slides are printed in each batch and batches that result in greater than 95% printing fidelity are selected for post printing quality control tests
  (measuring spot morphology, quality of background and signal intensity in a real hybridization using yeast total RNA, vector probe labeling method and terminal transferase tailing method).
