Racked samples are moved at programmed intervals between temperature controlled baths containing NimbleGen-specified wash buffers where they are washed using a combination of up/down agitation and stir bar vortex action. After washing, arrays are 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 NimbleGen 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 Roche NimbleGen Arrays [Cat. #1080-80-1 (115V); 1080-80-2 (230V)] is a programmable robotic system that replaces the multistep manual method normally used for post-hybridization processing of CGH and gene expression arrays. The system washes and dries up to 12 microarrays, producing uniformly clean slides with low backgrounds ready for scanning.
