Empire Genomics

Empire Genomics manufactures high quality human BAC arrayed slides for array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH). aCGH utilizes discrete segments of DNA as immobilized targets to assess relative DNA copy number changes between two different fluorescently labeled DNA samples. aCGH provides a tremendous opportunity for the discovery of genomic aberrations related to numerous disease states including cancer, autism, schizophrenia, mental retardation and several congenital abnormalities. Our Human ACCUArray™ is a whole-genome, human male RPCI-11 BAC array with 160kb resolution. In addition, custom arrays are available for any of the 20 organisms maintained in the Empire Genomics BAC clone collection. These high quality BAC arrays offer ease of use, manageable data sets, and high resolution. The BAC clones are spotted in duplicate on the arrays for quality purposes and statistical replication.

Our customization options provides a solid foundation for a diverse range of applications. Whether your research utilizes established methods such as RNA expression analysis, or delves into the latest techniques such as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-on-chip) or comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), the Agilent Custom Microarray Platform allows you to construct microarrays that match your specific experimental needs.
