NEXTERION® MPX-48 Slides

The special 48-well architecture of NEXTERION® Slide MPX-48 allows the parallel analysis of multiple biological samples against focused subsets of probes on a single slide. The dimensions of the microarray slide are fully compatible with all microarray printers and scanners, allowing users to run multiple samples on a single slide without any additional hardware.

Product details

High quality glass substrate

The ultra flat, glass slide is manufactured from low auto-fluorescent borosilicate glass with the dimensions 75.6 mm x 25.0 mm x 1 mm. The uniform flatness of the borosilicate glass ensures highly reproducible contact printing and scanning across the wells. The glass slides are partitioned into 48 wells by an ultra-hydrophobic patterning layer. Each well is 3.5 x 3.5 mm with 9 mm center-to-center spacing, in a 4 x 12 format (identified as A–D and1- 12). The dimensions and locations of the wells are fully compatible with standard microarray printing parameters. There is a region of unpatterned glass on the right hand side for the attachment of an optional barcode label.

 

Packaging and storage

 

 NEXTERION® Slide MPX-48 are available as 5-slide packs sealed in stable plastic boxes under an inert atmosphere. The slides are ready-to-use from the box. The exact shelf life of the slides is determined by the coating and is indicated on the external packaging.
