NimbleGen Microarray Dryer

Roche Applied Science
Description
The NimbleGen Microarray Dryer helps to ensure production of high-quality images from 1x3 inch slides with minimal residue and without the use of noxious chemicals, such as acetonitrile. The centrifugal array drying step is performed in a protected environment to reduce atmospheric and light-induced degradation of Cy dyes.
A key component of the NimbleGen microarray workflow, the NimbleGen Microarray Dryer is used with NimbleGen Hybridization Systems, Mixers, and Wash Buffer Kits to provide the complete array processing solution for NimbleGen DNA Microarrays. Effective washing and complete removal of wash solution prior to scanning is critically important when processing DNA microarrays. Salt crystallization and other residue formations resulting from insufficient washing or removal of wash solution can compromise vital data, contribute to high background signal, or both.
Additionally, protection of the hybridized array from environmental degradation during the wet-to-dry transition is essential to maintain fluorescent signal.
