How can I dry the hybridized DualChip microarrays?
Dry the DualChip microarrays either by centrifugation in a specialized adapter for 5 min at 600 rpm (e. g. CombiSlide Adapter, Eppendorf, used in a Swing-bucket rotor plus Centrifuge 5430 R from Eppendorf) or an adapter for 50 ml-tubes (one slide per tube, barcode sticker on top; 800 rpm 10 min). Drying with a Nitrogen-stream is suboptimal as many nitrogen pipes in older labs are not that clean anymore. There is a risk of receiving small particles on the array.
