CombiMatrix Corporation’s CustomArray™ is a high quality, completely customizable microarray that provides a cost effective and timely solution for microarray users. Oligonucleotide probes can be defined and designed by the user and supported by the open source CombiMatrix probe design system at no additional cost. In addition, the platform takes advantage of equipment used for scanning microscope slide microarrays that avoids the necessity of purchasing additional equipment. The CustomArray™ is manufactured under stringent conditions, and each and every array is quality controlled. The turn around time is typically less than thirty days.

CustomArray™ uses a specially modified “CMOS” semiconductor to direct the molecular assembly of a specific sequence of DNA bases in response to a digital command. Each feature on the array (a microelectrode) is digitally addressed to selectively generate acid, by means of an electrochemical reaction which, in-turn, controls the detritylation reaction during phosphoramidite synthesis. A software program is used to control the microelectrodes, and thus, the detritylation pattern applied on the chip during synthesis.

The CustomArray™ 4X2K contains four independent 2240-feature microarrays on a single slide. The CustomArray™ 4X2K offers:

• Total Control: users can choose probes and modify designs at any time
• Complete Customization: free bioinformatics and design set-up are included with each microarray
• True Flexibility: the CustomArray™ 4X2K is compatible with standard reagents and scanners
• Superior Quality: all spots on every microarray are 100% functionally tested
• Rapid Design-to-Results: 30 day turn around time
• Increased Throughput: run 4 microarrays per slide
