Custom Microarrays
Search off the beaten path with custom arrays. Take advantage of world-class design services. Optimize your experiments for greater efficiency in answering your questions.
To address the needs of a continually evolving scientific landscape, you need a microarray platform that is flexible and adaptable to your specific experimental needs. Agilent provides you with a complete set of tools and resources, enabling you to customize microarrays that allow you to answer the biological questions you are interested in. Tailored design options combine with best-in-class technical support, offering you endless possibilities for targeted, optimized genomic analysis for your specific research needs. Agilent’s SurePrint inkjet technology prints oligonucleotides on demand, enabling total control over your array content without compromise in cost, data quality, or scalability. Best of all, our 60-mer oligonucleotide probes are synthesized directly on the slide, resulting in highly reproducible features that enable you to work with complex mixtures, analyze heterogeneous samples, and detect subtle but important biological changes that cannot be seen with other techniques.
Jump to your custom application:
Gene Expression
Take control of your gene expression experimental design and cost by selecting from multiple array formats, predesigned and validated probe sequences, and probe sequence design tools. For microarray design, you can use your own uploaded probe sequences, draw from public sequence databases, or choose from Agilent’s extensive database spanning a wide range of organisms – containing empirically-validated probes that have been optimized for premium sensitivity and specificity. Further customize using genome-wide and/or focused designs, and multiple format options for unparalleled resolution, flexibility, and convenience.
High-Definition Comparative Genomic Hybridization (HD-CGH)
High-definition comparative genomic hybridization (HD-CGH) microarrays offer the highest available resolution tiling using Agilent’s database of over 8 million validated CGH probes, enabling you to perform global DNA variation profiling without amplification or complexity reduction. Our pre-designed probes are validated in silico for heightened sensitivity and specificity. They span exonic, intronic, and intergenic DNA regions for thorough, relevant coverage. When combined with our custom design technical support, our HD-CGH technology offers exciting options in copy number microarray design and analysis. In addition, genome-wide and focused design capabilities together allow you to perform analyzes at multiple levels, from large chromosomal profiles to in-depth analysis of pinpointed target areas.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP-on-chip)
Apply location analysis technology to your research by taking advantage of Agilent’s custom options for ChIP-on-chip microarrays. Select genomic regions from any organism using your own probe sequences or those from our extensive database, to customize content for targeted analysis with up to 244K features per microarray. As with all of Agilent’s custom arrays, genome-wide and focused design options are available, backed by the technical support to help decide how to best meet your research goals.
