Cytogenetics

DNA arrays are now a standard tool for evaluating DNA duplications and deletions in an individual. In fact, the aCGH method is gradually replacing the traditional cytogenetics methods such as G-banded karyotyping.

If you are using aCGH DNA arrays, Innopsys is offering the most suitable products for your application. For low and medium density arrays as well as BAC arrays or oligonucleotide arrays(spot size less than 40 µm), InnoScan 710 is the ideal scanner for reading your slides.

The high resolution and precision of InnoScan 900 allows you to read high density arrays such as HD2, HD4, 4x180K or 1M.

To fully automate your experiments, Innopsys also offers the AutoLoader system for each of its models, allowing you to read up to 24 slides in a single cycle.

Biomarkers and diseases stratification

DNA arrays for genotyping or analysis of gene expression and protein arrays are also used for biomarker research and disease stratification. Using these new approaches, it is now possible to categorise the stages of complex diseases more precisely, to provide an appropriate treatment.

InnoScan 710 will enable you to read your low and medium density expression chips or protein arrays with spots larger than 40 µm. For high density arrays (spot size smaller than 40 µm), InnoScan 900 will be most suitable.
