Aminopropylsilane Coated Substrates—Standard Coatings for High Density Arrays

Erie Scientific is excited to introduce SuperChip HDa new surface chemistry that allows for additional content per slide. The HD surface is comprised of the same amine functional groups as our standard APS chemistry, but it is highly hydrophobic and thereby produces smaller spot size. Smaller spots mean you can reduce spot-to-spot distance and create space for additional content.

Additional content will decrease the total quantity of slides needed, reduce the slide-to-slide variability factor, and result in lower cost for both slides and processing chemicals. Additionally, SuperChip HD exhibits improved morphology, which facilitates grid alignment when analyzing the array image. 

HD chemistry is also available on our epoxysilane slides.

SuperChip HD features:
  • Uniform, hydrophobic surface
  • High signal intensity and low background
  • High density, high content arrays possible because of smaller spot size
  • Improved morphology
  • Greater efficiency, lower cost of slides and chemicals

The charts below and the array images to the right demonstrate the high signal intensity and smaller spots formed on SuperChip HD substrates.

Array parameters of the charts and images:
  • Protocol: Erie’s standard arraying protocol
  • Probe: 0.2µg/µl rabbit b-globin (500bp) PCR product
  • Target: 25ng Cy3-labeled rabbit b-globin cDNA
  • Spotting Buffer: 3X SSC
  • Spotter: BioRobotics Microgrid II
  • Pins: Matrix NanoPin ceramic pins
  • Spotting pitch: 0.16mm
