How should the DualChip microarrays be handled and stored?
DualChip microarrays should be stored at 4°C and opened prior to hybridization. The operating environment should be as clean as possible. The DualChip microarrays should be handled from the labeled side (barcode-sticker) only and should never be touched on the window of the frame. After removing the frame, it should be avoided to touch the spotted surface of the slide. Never use a permanent or water resistant marker or any other type of pen on the slide because it may cause interference during the scan process.
