Abstract

A new revolution technology that may become promising for research, diagnostics and therapy enters into biology and medicine. The basic idea of the biochip technology is to convert the chemistry of life into a static form programmed to monitor genes, proteins and relations between them. Biochip programmed by known sequences of DNA/RNA or proteins can recognized the real genes, mutations, levels of expression,... Biochip technology is highly effective method that allows monitoring of thousands of genes/alleles at a time in computerized automatic operations with minimal volumes of necessary reagents. Biochips promise an important shift in molecular biology, DNA diagnostics, pharmacology, research in carcinogenesis and other diseases and also the possibility of a better understanding of the world of biology in its globality.

Analysis of repeatability in spotted cDNA microarrays.

We report a strategy for analysis of data quality in cDNA microarrays based on the repeatability of repeatedly spotted clones. We describe how repeatability can be used to control data quality by developing adaptive filtering criteria for microarray data containing clones spotted in multiple spots. We have applied the method on five publicly available cDNA microarray data sets and one previously unpublished data set from our own laboratory. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the approach as a foundation for data filtering, and indicate a high degree of variation in data quality, both across the data sets and between arrays within data sets.

High-throughput array production using precision glass syringes.

The advantages of using 1, 96, or 384 precision glass syringes in automated high-throughput microdispensers in creating highly uniform and reproducible DNA, protein, and organic compound array filters and slides are described. Using the Hydra Microdispenser and Tango Liquid Handling system, 0.1-5 ng (in 50-300 nL) PCR-amplified, human cancer-related genes and housekeeping genes were spotted onto nylon membranes and coated slides. Protein solutions of 50 microg/mL to 1 mg/mL were spotted onto coated slides or onto MaxiSorp 96-well plates. Up to 6144 spots/membrane and up to 1000 spots/slide were printed. The size of the spots created by glass syringes was uniform and reproducible (precision variation of less than 5%) from spot to spot and membrane to membrane. Using a Tango 384 system, a total of ten 6144-spot filters can be produced in approximately 25 min, translating into a spotting speed of 2.5 min/membrane.
