Affy Gene Chip Microarray Facility
Director: Vance Morgan
Location: 65 Landsdowne Street, 3rd Floor, Cambridge

 

Core Summary:

HPCGG operates a full service unit to support microarray analysis using Affymetrix, Agilent and other microarray platforms. We have experience with large, medium, and small project needs. Equipment comprising the available technology includes automation, the Axon Scanner, Maui Hybridization stations, Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer, and the Affymetrix GeneChip® System. The GeneChip® System includes all of the hardware necessary for running and analyzing high-density Affymetrix arrays for expression analysis and SNP mapping arrays.

The facility also offers various levels of bioinformatics support for comparative analysis projects and are available to discuss more complex collaborative projects as well. Please see our Bioinformatics page for more information.
