How are the Nexterion® microarray subtrates packaged?
The Nexterion® substrates are packed in 5, 25 or 30-slide containers. The boxes are made of a specially developed plastic material to minimise out-gassing, and maintain the slide properties. Nexterion coated slides and cleanroom cleaned uncoated substrates are additional sealed in tough protective laminated foil pouches under an inert atmosphere. The specially developed packaging protects the slides from damage due to breakage and external contamination. It also offers protection from the adverse effects of light and humidity during transportation and long-term storage.
