This document provides detailed specifications for Agilent G3 microarray formats and tolerances
This document provides technical drawings and tolerances for the Agilent G3 Microarray Format. The arrays utilize a hexagonal grid arrangement that approximates a rectilinear grid, with even rows offset by half the column spacing.
The manual details specific layouts for four formats: 1M (single array), 2x400K (two arrays), 4x180K (four arrays), and 8x60K (eight arrays). It includes precise measurements for feature diameters, row/column spacings, offsets, and the location of features on the slide.
| Nominal feature diameter | 0.030 mm |
|---|---|
| Nominal row spacing | 0.018330871 mm |
| Nominal column spacing | 0.06349 mm |
| Nominal offset of even rows | 0.031745 mm |
The nominal feature diameter is 0.030 mm.
This format contains a single array of 974,016 features.
This format contains eight arrays in a 4 x 2 grid.
