SuperAldehyde Substrates (Box of 25)

SuperAldehyde Substrates are manufactured in state-of-the-art class 1 cleanrooms, using the most advanced procedures and surface chemistries in the world. The glass substrates are cut to precision dimensions (25 mm x 76 mm 300 m) and polished to optical flatness with a surface variability of about 25 angstroms. The thickness of 0.935 mm is intentionally undersized to allow for optional bar coding, while maintaining the 1 mm thickness required for automation hardware. SuperAldehyde Substrates contain covalent aldehyde groups (5 x 1012 per cm2) on linker arms that allow stable attachment of nucleic acids (cDNAs and oligos), proteins, small molecules, extracts and cells via stable Schiff's base bonding. Coupling proceeds naturally as a dehydration reaction (<40% relative humidity) and can be expedited using a drying oven in high humidity (>40%) environments. The "zero background" intrinsic fluorescence enables the greatest detectivity (sensitivity) of any substrate available. SuperAldehyde Substrates are compatible with all commercial microarray printing and detection systems, and are offered at a price that would be hard to duplicate at ten times the cost!!
