Arrayit offers the market’s finest microarray consulting services from our top-trained experts. Our consulting sessions are provided worldwide to convey practical “how to” information from the world’s microarray tools and technology leader. Learn the fundamentals and principles that determine how microarray manufacturing tools and techniques are used and interpreted. Laboratory and lecture formats are available from our highly trained staff including complete class 100 training sessions in our laboratories in Sunnyvale. Please contact us directly for group rates and multi-session pricing and availability.

Course Overview
Generating reliable microarray data begins with solid manufacturing practices. The elements that must be controlled are the printing technology, robotics, surface chemistry and environment. There are many variables in each of these areas and Arrayit can quickly examine these parameters onsite and make accurate assessments for troubleshooting and fine tuning. Our consulting services allow the examination of entire manufacturing facilities. Typically, one 8-hour session is sufficient to solve most manufacturing issues. Prior to onsite visits, Arrayit will formulate a strategy to maximize customer value.

Technical Support
Technical support for all of Arrayit’s products and services are available by telephone during normal business hours (8 AM - 6 PM, PST) and on a 24-hour basis by electronic mail arrayit@arrayit.com.  Consulting clients enjoy complete follow-up consulting to supplement information conveyed in our on-site lecture and laboratory sessions.

On-site Consulting Principals and Approach
1. Scientific analysis
Our scientific understanding of microarray manufacturing and related techniques has grown exponentially since the introduction of Arrayit contact printing technology in 1997. Through the process of implementing our microarray platform in thousands of laboratories worldwide, Arrayit can transfer the theoretical and practical information needed to streamline any microarray manufacturing process.

2. Standard procedures
Arrayit consulting services provide an organized, efficient approach to streamlining microarray manufacturing. We use microarray manufacturing standards to optimize any microarray manufacturing system. Training sessions include experimental design, biochemical reactions, microarray manufacturing, microarray scanning, and data quantitication and analysis.

3. Open platform approach
The Arrayit microarray platform uses the standard glass substrate slide “open platform” microarray. Our consulting services embrace the use of instruments, tools, kits and reagents from Arrayit, Agilent, NimbleGen and other vendors. This “mix and match” philosophy empowers our customers with maximum value and versatility.
