As researchers approach the developing field of genomics with custom DNA/peptide based assays, the need for microarray services or productions that maximize flexibility and precision, without compromising speed and cost, has become critical. In order to meet the demands for custom microarraying, BSI offers a complete suite of microarray services, which includes:
For complete details or to get a specific quotation, please contact a Technical
Support Representative by submitting an
Online Oligo Project Requisition Form. Clients must provide information
such as gene ID list, or send us oligo/peptide/protein samples. A Customer Service
representative will contact you as soon as possible to finalize your array design
and price quotation. Customized arrays will be shipped in 2-3 weeks upon finalization
of the order.

Quality Control
Replicated spots and slides are used to monitor technical variations. In addition,
pre-scanning with fast dye staining is conducted to make sure the spot size and
morphology meet expectations. Sometimes a test hybridization is conducted, if needed.
Using similar high-precision printing technology, the peptides or proteins can be
spotted on membrane-coated glass slides. Using different detection technologies,
recombinant proteins/antibodies, cell lysate or serum samples can be quantitatively
assayed. This has wide applications in protein-protein interaction studies, including
antigen-antibody recognitions, kinase-substrate bindings, pathway analysis, biomarker
screenings, and much more.
