Full Service Affymetrix GeneChip Analysis

Affymetrix sets the standard for genome-scale gene expession analysis. GeneChips are available for human, mouse, rat and many other species and measure the expression of up to 47,000 genes per assay.

The Affymetrix system performs 12 independent gene expression measurements for each gene, providing highly statistically-signficant data. The GeneChips contain numerous controls for the quality of cDNA synthesis, hybridization and processing steps.

KUGR full-service Affymetrix analysis includes preliminary consultations, assistance with experimental design and quality control of the RNA samples and all the intermediate steps through production of MIAME-compliant data.

The basic costs for full-service analysis are $650 to $750 per sample, including the price of the GeneChips. KUGR also provides more extensive data analysis including production of publication-quality figures for additional cost.
