Can I buy the Scripps/GNF array from Affymetrix?
The array is a non-renewable tool that was designed in our laboratory for our research needs and is not a commercial product supported by Affymetrix. However, the sequences of the probes on the array are not proprietary and can be downloaded from our website and resynthesized by Affymetrix or by other companies. MR4 has been authorized to serve as distributor for the arrays pending interest from the malaria community. If you are interested in using the Scripps/GNF array in your research, send an email to John Rogers (jrogers@niaid.nih.gov), or Shiguang Yang (syang@atcc.org) expressing your interest as they may eventually arrange for the array’s continued synthesis and distribution through MR4. Our laboratory is also interested in collaborating but has limited resources.
