This data sheet provides the bar code and glass specifications for the Agilent G2565BA microarray scanner.
The Agilent G2565BA Microarray Scanner is designed to read Agilent Microarrays as well as most common glass slides. This document details the specific requirements for the glass substrate and the bar code labeling to ensure accurate scanning and feature extraction.
The scanner utilizes unique slide holders that accept a nominal 1-inch by 3-inch piece of glass. The document provides precise dimensional tolerances for width, length, and thickness, along with restrictions on glass quality and bar code types to guarantee system compatibility.
| Glass Width | 1-inch (25.4 mm) |
|---|---|
| Glass Length | 3-inch (76.2 mm) |
| Glass Thickness | 1 mm |
| Permitted Bar Codes | Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, and CODABAR |
| Glass Quality Requirement | High quality with low intrinsic fluorescence |
