Figure 1. The ArrayIt® InnoScan® 700 microarray scanner uses dynamic auto focusing, which greatly reduces background noise and increases signal intensities. This proprietary auto-focusing technology allows the system to adjust to temperature changes, mechanical perturbations and other system changes that would otherwise cause fluctuations in signal and background. The result is highly uniform scanning across the entire chip surface and consistent performance scan after scan.
Quantitation and analysis software is included with every scanner:
Mapix® is a microarray image analysis software application that is both intuitive and easy to use, combining imaging and analysis tools for superior performance.
Highly efficient algorithms provide rapid and effective feature gridding through automatic spot searching and optimal grid alignment.
 |
- Automatic spot segmentation ensures high-quality experiment data by selecting relevant pixels and eliminating unwanted ones.
- Gridding performance and quantification process are adapted to the high resolution of the InnoScan700 (3m) and therefore to the size of images generated.
- Optimal data visualization and quick learning thanks to its highly interactive commands, with full correlation between displayed data, pictures and plots.
- Compatible all types of microarrays made by ex-situ and in-situ techniques.
- Reads and analyzes interstitial/staggered/orange packing patterned microarrays made by the Protein NanoPrint, Agilent and others.
- Batch processing allows analysis of a large number of microarrays per day to boost productivity (available on Version 3.0.0).
- Regular software updates are accessible on line to match evolving needs of customers (updates are free for the 1st year).
Configurable for full or modular automation of:
- Scanner control
- Configuration saving (scan and analysis parameters)
- Bar code reading
- Quality control by flagging
Compatible with all industry-standard formats and platforms:
- Support GAL files and recordable transcripts in both text and GPR formats.
- Images are saved as 16-bit TIFF images with all read parameters and can be copied in JPEG format.
- Supports image analysis of 16-bit TIFF files from a variety of other scanners.
- Platform-independent and runs on all operating systems (Windows, 32- and 64-bit Linux and Macintosh).
Figure 2. The ArrayIt® InnoScan® 700AL laser microarray scanner with autoloader provides high resolution, high-speed fluorescence scanning of all standard glass microarrays. The 700AL scans 24 glass substrate slides (25 x 76 mm) in both channels at 10 µm resolution in 100 minutes. The ArrayIt® InnoScan® 700AL laser microarray scanner is the perfect automated solution to high-throughput microarray scanning for research and diagnostics.
