Array Quality Control
The whole process includes the selection and treatment of the glass substrates, visual monitoring and recording the deposition of each element printed on the array, and the final characterization and hybridization of statistically representative samples of arrays from each lot produced
We do quality control our arrays at every step of the process. The arrays that the customer receive are the ones that passed these quality control.
The combination of microarray printing know-how, technology innovation, in process QC and industrialization forms the basic for Agilent Sure Print technology.
