HOW IS CUSTOMARRAY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER IN SITU SYNTHESIS TECHNOLOGIES?
CustomArray chips use electrochemical detritylation to control DNA synthesis. Electrochemical detritylation is a much more efficient method to synthesize oligonucleotides than light-based synthesis processes. This means the oligonucleotides are of the highest quality and the sensitivity of the microarray is maximized. Since physical photolithographic masks, mechanical micromirrors, or inkjet technologies are NOT involved in the process, all probes can be easily changed without extra time or costs.
