Agilent G2539A DNA Microarray Scanner

Agilent’s DNA Microarray Scanner with SureScan
High-Resolution technology is the key component of microarray-based applications
in which increased coverage of the genome is a necessity. Whether performing
gene expression studies, array CGH, miRNA profiling, or other novel
applications, scanning technology is responsible for providing the highest
quality data.

The scanner provides an
expanded dynamic range of 6 orders of magnitude and a unique autofocus feature
that coordinates continual focus across the array, adjusting for any potential
glass aberrations or curvatures. The system is fully integrated and all
components are guaranteed for enhanced functionality when used with Agilent’s
microarrays, which helps ensure the highest levels of sensitivity and data
quality.
