description: Manufactured using GE Healthcare’s CodeLink (TM) 3-D Gel Matrix Technology
  Surface type: non-adsorptive
  Attachment: covalent
  The mirVana miRNA Bioarrays are an Ambion product that is manufactured by GE Healthcare and incorporates the CodeLink™ 3-D Gel Matrix slide surface. This aqueous environment elevates the probes away from the surface of the slide, allowing for maximum interaction between the probes and targets.
manufacture_protocol: CodeLink(tm) Activated Slides are designed to covalently immobilize amine-modified DNA for microarrays. They are easy to use and are compatible with most available arraying and scanning instruments. CodeLink Activated Slides are coated with a novel 3-D surface chemistry comprised of a long-chain, hydrophilic polymer containing amine-reactive groups. This polymer is covalently crosslinked to itself and to the surface of the slide. The crosslinked polymer, combined with end-point attachment, orients the immobilized DNA, and holds it away from the surface of the slide.
  
  Technical specifications:
  Slide dimensions: 25 × 75 × 1 mm
  1× Printing buffer: 50 mM sodium phosphate at pH 8.5
  
  Codelink slides are manufacured by SurModics and were formally sold as 3D-Link(tm) Activated Slides.
