Scanning microarrays with the Sapphire FL Biomolecular Imager

3 Jul 2024

Microarrays have a broad range of research and clinical applications, and have been used extensively to study gene expression and to carry out genotyping. Imaging microarrays requires a scanner with sufficient resolution, appropriate light sources, a wide dynamic range, and the ability to reproducibly position and focus on a microarray slide. A multifaceted imaging system such as the Sapphire™ FL Biomolecular Imager provides the ability to scan microarrays among its large catalog of compatible applications. Discover how the Sapphire FL scans microarrays and generates high-resolution images ready for downstream analysis.

Microarray AnalysisMicroarrays, also known as biochips, are used for the detection and analysis of multiple genes, proteins, antibodies, or biomarkers on a single microchip. This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests. Discover a range of microarray scanners and prefabricated antibody, protein, RNA and DNA microarrays for your analysis or consider creating your own custom microarrays with a microarray printer.
