Slide for covalent probe binding with microarrays
The active layer is made up of reactive epoxy groups that form an immediate and irreversible covalent bond with all the probe's nucleophilic groups, without UV cross-linking or reduction
For many protein microarrays users the slide surface of choice is nitrocellulose due to its three-dimensional microporous structure.
To meet the needs of this rapidly expanding market, a range of Nexterion NC slides from Schott will be available from October 2007.
Alistair Rees, Schott's microarray product manager, commented: "Sartorius Stedim Biotech is the perfect co-development partner for this product range, as nitrocellulose formulations from Sartorius Stedim have proven their reliability over the years in diagnostic membranes as well as for Western blots.
"Sartorius Stedim's nitrocellulose membrane production expertise has been combined with Schott's glass production know-how to produce slides of superior quality, and high reproducibility".
