HOW LONG CAN I STORE COMBIMATRIX MICROARRAYS PRIOR TO STRIPPING?
Hybridized CombiMatrix microarrays may be stored for a short time either in a tube or slide-holder containing 1xPBS, or in Imaging Solution with the LifterSlip™ attached. Avoid prolonged storage of hybridized arrays prior to stripping. CombiMatrix recommends performing the stripping reaction immediately after a good image of a hybridized array is obtained. Do not allow the semiconductor microarray surface to dry as this will prevent any further use.
