A Powerful Tool for Microarray Analysis
The SureScan scanner is part of the SureScan system solution from Agilent Technologies. The
scanner is a sophisticated laser-induced fluorescence scanner designed to read microarrays
printed on standard 1 in
3 in slides.
The scanner measures the fluorescence intensity of labeled sample nucleic acid (DNA and RNA)
bound to microarrays. Its ability to measure fluorescence from two dyes simultaneously
facilitates all two-color microarray studies. This technology provides for rapid, high-quality,
automated scanning of microarrays.
