Can I hybridize Cy3-cDNA to Illumina BeadChips?
The probe design and hybridization conditions were optimized for use with amplified cRNA. Varying the sample to cDNA would require re-optimization of every step of the protocol’s hybridization and wash conditions. Our protocol does not include a pre-block step of the microarray before adding sample. Adding Cy3-labeled sample would produce high background and poor results.
