The ASP instrument consists of an instrument and software that automate a variety of chemical and biochemical techniques used with standard microscope slides.
Individual slide chamber control is possible with the ASP. The instrument consists of two units, each containing six temperature-controlled chambers that clamp to slide surfaces. Sample liquids can be injected, and wash solutions or air can be pumped into the chamber. Slide capacity can range up to 12 slides.
The Automated Slide Processor (ASP) enables hands-free hybridization and washing of up to 12 slides in a single run. For the application of microarray gene expression experiments, the instrument provides automated pre-treatment, non-static hybridization, and stringency washing of microarray slides. The hybridization solution is mixed during incubation to increase hybridization efficiency and improve reproducibility.
