Industry-standard Expression Profiling with GeneChip® 3' Arrays
GeneChip® 3' expression arrays are the most broadly accepted whole-genome expression profiling tool. Affymetrix offers the largest collection of whole-genome catalog arrays, from Arabidopsis to zebrafish. With more publications than any other microarray platform and a wealth of functional annotation, Affymetrix 3' expression array users have an unprecedented resource to compare and refine results.
Affymetrix 3' expression arrays interrogate each gene with multiple independent probes, offering the most accurate, robust and reproducible 3'-based, gene-level expression profiling. Examine expression profiling on a genome-wide scale with the industry-standard platform. Available in single-array, 24-Array plate, and 96-array plate formats to meet your study needs.
Featured Products
GeneChip® 3' expression arrays interrogate each gene with multiple independent probes, offering the most accurate, robust and reproducible 3'-based, gene-level expression profiling. With upwards of 11,000 publications using or reviewing our expression technology, GeneChip® arrays have become the industry-standard whole-genome expression profiling tool. Affymetrix' 3' expression portfolio includes whole-genome catalog arrays from Arabidopsis to zebra fish. Current solutions for human, mouse and rat include:
- Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array
- GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array
- GeneChip® Rat Genome 230 2.0 Array
Affymetrix Expression Console Software
Expression Console™ software supports probe set summarization and CHP file generation for GeneChip® 3' expression arrays, as well as GeneChip® Gene and Exon Arrays. The Expression Console workflow provides a choice of the more commonly used probe set summarization algorithms. The algorithms offered include:
- MAS5 Statistical Algorithm
- Probe Logarithmic Intensity Error Estimation (PLIER)
- Robust Multichip Analysis (RMA)
GeneChip-Compatible™ Software
For advanced secondary analysis, several GeneChip-Compatible™ software packages are available.
