Expression microarrays

«please contact us for all cost inquiries

We offer a diversity of commercial platforms for whole-genome and custom expression profiling studies. Each platform offers full analysis service including RNA quality control. We encourage investigators to ask any questions or discuss which type of microarray service is best suited for their project goals. See below for a list of currently supported platforms.

Researchers can choose the NimbleGen platform for very high density coverage. They offer genome-wide expression for many different organisms, multiplex slide formats and custom array availability. Researchers also can tile through a genome at any desired spacing to discover genome-wide expression activity in both coding and noncoding regions. NimbleGen offers an extensive list of catalog arrays for Prokaryotes.

Sample Requirements: 1ug total RNA

Sample Requirements: 40-200ng FFPE derived total RNA (partially degraded RNA)

The LAGA sends samples to the Centre for Translational and Applied Genomics (CTAG) at BCCA. Data sets come back to the LAGA for analysis.
