Genomics: Directed at the genome sequence itself, microarrays have been used to identify novel genes, binding sites of transcription factors, changes in DNA copy number, and variations from a baseline sequence, such as in emerging strains of pathogens or complex mutations in disease-causing human genes.

1. Speed. The GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner acquires data simultaneously at two wavelengths, unlike most commercially available microarray scanners. This means that scan times are drastically reduced, resulting in increased workflow efficiency. In addition to exceptional speed, simultaneous scanning eliminates potential errors associated with aligning two separately scanned images and provides real-time access to the data.
2. Reliability. The acquisition and analysis software includes one-click calibration to restore baseline performance of any GenePix scanner. The signals produced today are the same as they were a few years ago and in the future.
3. Automate workflows. Features automatic photomultiplier tube (PMT) balancing. The fully integrated GenePix Pro acquisition and analysis software controls the GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner and can automatically evaluate the desired PMT gain value to quickly and easily optimize signal strength and channel balance. Data were acquired at resolutions between 5-100 microns, allowing image resolution and file size to be adjusted for each experiment.
4. Get more publications. Features user adjustable focus offset and laser power settings. Slides with raised surfaces, such as glass with thin film coatings, or slides with recessed surfaces, such as embedded arrays, can be appropriately imaged.
