HOW DO I OBTAIN THE CHIP DESIGN FILE SHOWING POSITIONS OF PROBES ON MY ARRAY?
A chip design file is a file in XML format that contains information about your probes and their location on your CustomArrays. You can access this file though our applications website by registering and selecting “My Designs.” Our data extraction software, Microarray Imager, will directly accept the XML chip design file, so no conversion is required. CombiMatrix also provides a tool for converting the chip design files into GAL files. GenePix and some other programs for array data extraction will accept the GAL format. CombiMatrix can assist customers in converting to other file formats as well.
