description: A multi organism array containing microRNA's probes for most of the species annotated in the miRBase Release 8.1
manufacture_protocol: Locked Nucleic Acid enhanced oligonucleotides capture probes that are complementary to the mature miRNA's registered in miRBase Release 8.1 are manufactured to all have a uniform Tm of 72 degrees C.  Capture probes are spotted on to glass slides in 8 different subarrays, 14 spots wide by 15 spots high, each subarray is duplicated 4 times for a total of 6720 features.  The array contains 30 control capture probes: 12 positive controls, 8 negative controls and 10 probes specific for the supplied spike-in controls.  Blank spots were deleted from this platform leaving a total of 1600 features.
