The Universal Array Matrix (SAM) platform is a fiberoptic assembly composed of 96 individual arrays in an 8 × 12 format, matching the well spacing of a standard microwell plate. Each array holds 1,536 different oligonucleotide probe sequences (IllumiCode sequences). The probes are attached to 3-micron beads assembled into microwells at the end of an optical fiber bundle. Because the microwells outnumber probe sequences, multiple copies of each bead type are present in the array. This built-in redundancy improves robustness and measurement precision.
The SAM manufacturing process includes hybridization-based quality control for each array feature, allowing consistent production of high-quality, reproducible arrays. Each SAM is shipped with an accompanying CD that contains a decode map (*.dmap) file for each array. This file is necessary for analyzing the data.
- MicroRNA Expression Profiling requires use of a MicroRNA Expression Profiling Reagent Kit, a MicroRNA Human or Mouse Assay Pool, and the MicroRNA Universal Array Matrix
