What is the meaning of the codes printed on the label of each microarray?
Our standard microarrays are given an identification sticker that describes each microarray and helps the investigator orient the slide. Each slide is given a barcode that helps us automate data storage and tracking of arrays. The 8-digit unique array identification encodes the species, array version, lot number, and slide number. This provides a convenient, unambiguous nomenclature to help investigators track their hybridizations and results.
