The Agilent G2565CA Microarray Scanner is part of the microarray analysis solution from Agilent Technologies. The microarray scanner is a sophisticated laser- induced fluorescence scanner designed to read microarrays printed on standard 1 in x 3 in slides.
The microarray scanner measures the fluorescence intensity of labelled sample nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) bound to microarrays. Its ability to measure fluorescence from two dyes simultaneously facilitates all two- colour microarray studies. This technology provides for rapid, high- quality, automated scanning of microarrays.
