to your exact specifications.
Design Your Own Custom or Personalized Microarray Substrate with Your Exact Finishing Options
1. Cutting
All substrates may be custom cut to your specified size using a variety of glass thickness and materials (listed below). Normal cutting dimensional tolerance
+/- 0.010". For more specific material thickness information, visit: www.eriecustomglass.com.
- Available Substrate Materials
- Special EVR Microarray Substrates, one thickness (0.039" – 0.041") thick, <10 mc variation flat
- EVR, water white, low fluorescing, soda lime glass. (0.030" – 0.125")
- Float, soda lime glass (0.020" – 0.188"), (0.508mm – 4.775mm)
- Borosilicate glass (0.0033" – 0.0236"), (0.08mm – 0.6mm)
- B-270 (0.0366" – 0.042"), (0.93mm – 1.07mm)
- Borofloat (0.130"), (3.3mm)
2. Cleaning
Choose among several levels of cleaning:
- UltraClean (standard microarray level)
- Prewash (cleaned prior to cutting)
- No wash (cut and pack—protective dust only)
- System wash (submergence technique, large quantities & small sizes)
- Brush wash (post cutting wash)
