Scanner Validation Slide

Designed for the general validation and evaluation of microarray scanners. With the help of a Validation Slide, users can verify whether a scanner operates properly by assessing the response accuracy of scanning lasers, PMT, and laser filters.

This Validation Slide has also been developed to function as a demonstration slide, useful for demonstrating the overall performance and features of a microarray scanner.

The Slide contains arrays of Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescent dyes in dilutions series. Formatted in two blocks, the unique arrays contain spots of great morphology and consistency.

An excellent tool for scanner evaluations.
