How does your Two-Cycle cDNA Synthesis Kit protocol perform compared with Ambion's MessageAmp Kit or Arcturus's RiboAmp Kit?
GeneChip assays are an integrated part of the complete system solution and are the only reagent kits developed and fully validated on GeneChip brand arrays. With a thorough understanding of the performance characteristics of the GeneChip reagent kits on GeneChip arrays, users should have more confidence in obtaining meaningful results.
Affymetrix has been very diligent in investigating alternative target labeling protocols to ensure that researchers have access to the most robust and standardized assays when running GeneChip arrays. Affymetrix believes that the current set of GeneChip reagents are the most optimized solutions and can help customers extract the most reproducible and reliable data on GeneChip arrays.
Affymetrix will continue to research alternative procedures to evolve the assay for improved ease of use and more streamlined assays.
