AlphaGene has manufactured microarrays for PerkinElmer, previously NEN Life Sciences, under the MICROMAXTM product line. Using this proven technology, AlphaGene offers its clients a microarray spotting service as well as gene expression hybridization studies and analysis. 

Microarrays can be manufactured by either using clones provided by the client or isolated from FLEX libraries constructed by AlphaGene. Since each array and hybridization program varies significantly, specifications are developed to meet the needs of the clients research programs. 

AlphaGene is presently supplying NEN Life Sciences with technology and genes for the spotting of microarrays. 

The first product NEN marketed is the MICROMAX™ Human cDNA Microarray System I. This system contains two, 1" x 3" microarray slides, each pre-spotted with 2,400 known genes. Except for a small number of plant control genes, all genes are from 50+ human cDNA libraries created by AlphaGene. In this first microarray, 10+ tissue sources are represented and over 40% are full-length genes. 

AlphaGene is marketing or developing the following custom arrays or biochips.
