Production protocol | A) Spotting the Arrays 1. We use the MicroGrid Pro arrayer (BioRobotics), MicroSpot2500 pins, and GAPSII slides (Corning) 2. Temp = 65-70 degrees F 3. Relative Humidity = 35-45% 4. Dwell time = 1sec 5. Spots per visit = 27 6. Pin wash = 7sec 7. Pin dry = 10sec
B) Processing Spotted Arrays 1. UV cross link the spotted arrays via 300 mJoules 2. Bake the cross linked arrays for 2 hours at 80-90C 3. Wash for 2min in 0.2% SDS 4. Rinse slides well via dunks in MilliQ water 5. Dunk in 90% EtOH 6. Spin dry for 2min (500 rpm) 7. Store at room temperature in a clean dessicator |
