Spotted Glass Array Services and Pricing
| Services | Cost** |
|---|---|
| Sample Quality Control (Diluted) PicoChip - One small concentration (< 25 ng/µl) sample tested for quality assessment on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using the Lab-On-A-Chip Technology and the Nanodrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer. Please bring samples during normal sample drop-off times. | $20/sample |
| Sample Quality Control (Diluted) NanoChip - One sample (between 25 ng/µl and 500 ng/µl) tested for quality assessment on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using the Lab-On-A-Chip Technology and the Nanodrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer. Please bring samples during normal sample drop-off times. | $15/sample |
| Sample Quality Control micro or small RNA - One sample (leave at same dilution as respective Nano or Pico sample) tested for quality assessment on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using the Lab-On-A-Chip Technology and the Nanodrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer. Please bring samples during normal sample drop-off times. The MCF strongly recommends running the total RNA sample on a Nano or Pico chip as well for degradation. | $20/sample |
| Sample Quality Control Genomic DNA- One sample (50 ng/nl or greater) for use on the SNPs and CGH arrays. | $15/sample |
| Sample QC (Non-Diluted) - Additional charge if the MCF is required to dilute your sample. | $15/sample |
| Sample QC Printed Report - Report of RNA Quality of all samples done in a single day, pulled together, printed, email notification, and delivery with explanation. | $15/report |
| Sample QC Electronic Report - This is the RNA QC report sent out as an email attachment to the user. | $5/report |
| Amino-Allyl Labeling (Total RNA) - This service includes time, reagents, cleanup, and QC to label 10 µg of total RNA with Cy3 and/or Cy5. | $175/sample |
| RNA Amplification and Labeling - This service includes time, reagents, cleanup, and QC to amplify a user's RNA sample, and label the sample with Cy3 and/or Cy5 using amino-allyl labeling. | $430/sample |
| Two Rounds of RNA Amplification and Labeling - This service includes time, reagents, cleanup, and QC to amplify a user's RNA sample (using double amplification), and label the sample with Cy3 and/or Cy5 using amino-allyl labeling. | $510/sample |
| Array Hybridization in Agilent Oven or MAUI HybStation - Hybridization services include time, service contract for the machines, and general maintenance for prehybridization and loading of slides and samples into or onto respective instrument. | $35/array |
| Laser Scanning on the ScanArray 5000 - Scanning a single array on the ScanArray 5000. This cost includes, software upgrade, time, service contract. User may choose the scanner they prefer. | $25/array |
| Laser Scanning on the Agilent Scanner - Scanning an individual microarray on the Agilent Scanner. User may choose the scanner they prefer. | $25/array |
| Array Result Validation using MCF cDNA Clones - User provides a list of clones (and LB/amp bacterial plates) and the MCF technician will identify location, pull clone archive, streak clone onto plate, grow plate overnight at 37°C and notify user to retrieve plates. | $20/clone |
**NOTE: Support funding from NIH center grants allows the MCF to offer reduced pricing to certain investigators who qualify. Please contact the MCF to inquire about reduced pricing. Prices listed are for Baylor clients only.
Users interested in Custom Glass Spotted Arrays manufactured in the MCF should contact the facility to arrange a design meeting with core personnel at microarray@bcm.edu.
