Introduction
The GenePix
®
4300A/4400A Microarray Scanner uses a laser-excitation
based fluorescence scanning and imaging system. The laser-based
scanning system uses a patent-pending mechanical design, and
operates by slowly moving the slide in the Y–direction, while the slide is
rapidly scanned in the X–direction. The design of the scanner allows
scanning up to four wavelengths of a 25 mm by 75 mm slide at:
• 5  m resolution for the 4300A in approximately 30 minutes for
all four channels
• 2.5  m resolution for the 4400A in approximately 60 minutes for
all four channels
Scanner Features
• Up to four internally installed laser-excitation sources
• Gradient neutral density wheel permitting 5 to 100 % laser
transmission
• Data Scan resolution from 5 to 100  m for the 4300A, or 2.5 to
100  m for the 4400A.
• Fast Preview Scan at 40  m
• 16-bit ultra-low noise digitization
• Dynamic range of 10

• Easy-access 16-position emission filter cartridge with standard
filters for each pre-installed laser
• Standard 1 inch by 3 inch (25 mm by 75 mm) microscope slides
• Full integration with GenePix Pro Microarray Software and
Acuity
