| GeneChip probe arrays
enable scientists to attain their research goals—from identifying
genetic variations associated with disease to discovering new drug
targets. Using technologies adapted from the semiconductor industry,
GeneChip array manufacturing relies on photolithography and solid-phase
chemistry to produce arrays with thousands of probes packed at extremely
high densities.
GeneChip probe arrays are designed to maximize sensitivity,
specificity, and reproducibility, allowing consistent discrimination
between specific and background signals, and between closely related
target sequences. |
