Oxford Gene
Technology (OGT), provider of innovative
clinical genetics and diagnostic solutions to advance molecular medicine, has recently published a whitepaper entitled "10
essential questions to ask your microarray service provider". The document,
which is available to download at OGT's website, suggests the 10 most important
questions a researcher should ask when identifying which microarray service
best meets their experimental requirements.
Each service
provider is different, offering varying levels of experience and expertise,
with some catering for many different applications and others dedicated only to
specific areas. This often includes the ability to offer consultancy on various
aspects of a study, such as suggesting ways to optimise array and experiment
design, sample screening processes and data analysis. In addition, providers
use a variety of array platforms and quality control methods, each affecting
their suitability for different project requirements. These factors are highly
important when deciding on the best service provider to utilise.
The whitepaper
provided by OGT will help researchers make better informed decisions when it
comes to choosing a microarray service provider, and can be downloaded for free
at
