Arrayit offers easy to use molded plastic tubes with leak proof screw cap for storing, washing, blocking and processing up to 4 microarray slides (1 x 25 x 76 mm) per tube. A desiccant pack can be added to each tube for storing printed microarrays at -20°C or -70°C. Tubes are slotted so that microarrays are safely separated during use to maintain microarray integrity. These containers can also used as shipping tubes. Chemically-resistant plastic are compatible with all standard microarray buffer systems and light solvents. Packaged in cleanrooms, free of biological and particulate contaminants, 25 tubes per package.

Figure 2. Microarray Slide Tube containing 4 Arrayit glass substrate slides. The buffer capacity of the tube is 32.5 ml with 4 substrate slides (1 x 25 x 76 mm) and 40 ml without slides. The recommended buffer capacity during use is 27.5-30 ml to allow proper mixing.

Figure 3. Microarray Slide Tubes (Cat. MST) have a 4 slide (1 x 25 x 76 mm) capacity per tube and are offered as packages of 25 tubes for a total slide capacity of 100 slides per package. A dessicant pack can be added to each tube prior to closing the screw cap for extended storage of printed microarrays at -20°C or -70°C
