GeneChip® HT Hybridization, Wash,
and Stain Kit

index | previous question | next question

Do the reagents in the GeneChip® HT Hybridization, Wash, and Stain Kit (P/N 901219) have the same formulation as the GeneChip® Hybridization, Wash, and Stain Kit for cartridges (P/N 900720)? Can I use the cartridge HWS Kit components in place of the HT HWS reagents?

The formulation of the hybridization and pre-hybridization buffers are different; therefore, these components cannot be substituted. However, if you accidentally lose volume from one of the other five components in the HT HWS Kit (i.e., HT Stain Cocktail 1 & 3, HT Stain Cocktail 2, HT Array Holding Buffer, HT Wash Buffer A, or HT Wash Buffer B), you can supplement with the analogous components from the cartridge HWS Kit.
