How do I know if my GeneChip Scanner 3000 has been enabled for high-resolution scanning that is needed for the Mouse 430 2.0 and Mouse 430A 2.0 Arrays?
a. GeneChip Scanner 3000s that were shipped after September 15, 2003 with serial number 502xxxxx are enabled for high-resolution scanning.

b. GeneChip Scanner 3000s that were shipped prior to September 15, 2003 with serial number 501xxxxx that have had the GeneChip Scanner 3000 High-Resolution Update installed by an instrument service engineer are enabled for high-resolution scanning. A sticker is applied to the rear of the scanner to indicate that the upgrade has been performed.

c. Contact 888-DNA-CHIP or your local Affymetrix technical support to inquire about a scanner upgrade.
