Racked samples are moved at programmed intervals between temperature controlled baths containing Agilent buffers where they are washed using a combination of up/down agitation and stir bar vortex action. After washing, arrays can either be coated with the Agilent stabilization solution or automatically dried using the integrated centrifuge.
Easy Set Up and Operation Using Pre-Installed ProtocolsAfter filling the baths with buffers and setting temperatures and stir bar action, arrays are placed in a rack and inserted onto the Little Dipper robotic arm. The instrument then automatically performs all of the processing steps using programs that follow Agilent recommended conditions. For new users, a handy operator reference card is included that guides them through system operation. Customers

Improves Data Quality and Assay ReproducibilityThe Little Dipper Processor for Agilent Arrays [Cat. #1080-40-1 (115V); 1080-40-2 (230V)] is a programmable robotic system that replaces the multistep manual method normally used for posthybridization processing of CGH, gene expression, ChIP-chip and miRNA arrays. The system washes and dries up to 12 microarrays producing uniformly clean slides with low backgrounds ready for scanning.
