Custom Antibody Array

For our membrane-based arrays, any chemiluminescence imaging system such as an X-ray film developer, CCD camera, or gel documentation system should work. Imaging systems using near-infrared flours, such as the Li-Cor Odyssey and Typhoon systems, also work extremely well with our membrane arrays.

For the glass slide-based arrays, a gene microarray laser scanner is needed. A list of specifications and compatible laser scanners can be found here:

Compatible Laser Scanners for Glass Slide Arrays

Send your slides to us and we can scan them for you. We will provide you with the scanned image (TIF file) and the densitometry values with full analysis. Learn more about our scanning services here:

Most of our arrays are compatible with any biological fluid. This includes cell culture media, cell lysates, tissue lysates, and all clarified body fluids (serum, plasma, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, BAL, saliva, tears, etc.)

The exceptions are the label-based arrays (L-Series), which have limited compatibility with lysates and non-serum/plasma body fluids. Our phosphorylation arrays, which detect membrane-bound receptors, are only validated for use with cell and tissue lysates.

In general, any cell-free extract that contains soluble, non-denatured proteins is likely to work with our arrays.
