Compatible Fuidics Scripts

The compatible fluidics script application below can be used to determine which fluidics script is appropriate for your application. Alternately, you can refer to the tables in the Fluidics Script Compatible Table (pdf, 146 KB). You may need to reference some specific information regarding your application to determine the appropriate fluidics script, such as:

• The GeneChip® array type and format used
• The specific reagents used (e.g., for 3' Eukaryotic arrays: the IVT labeling kit vs. other labeling kits; the hybridization, wash, and stain kit vs. user-prepared solutions)
• The model number of the fluidics station used

Please also refer to the GeneChip array and reagent Package Inserts and Technical Manuals for additional information on fluidics scripts.
