Scanner Calibration Slide

Overview

The microarray Scanner Calibration Slide is designed users to perform quantitative evaluations of their microarray scanners. It is designed for determining the dynamic range, detection limit and uniformity of microarray scanners. This is an excellent tool for detecting laser channel cross-talk and laser stability.

This device contains two separate array blocks of dilution series of Cy3^TM and Cy5^TM fluorescent dyes. Each block consists of 28 sets of two-fold dilution of Cy3 or Cy5, coupled with 3 sets of blanks and one set of position markers. Each column contains 12 repeats of each sample.

Applications

• Quantitatively analyze scanner’s dynamic range and detection limit

• Detect and analyze variations in performances among different microarray scanner units

• Determine scanning uniformity and stability

• Detect channel-to-channel cross-talk

• Check laser and hardware alignment

• Assess and verify scanner's general functionalities
