The protocols for the Gene 1.0 ST and Exon 1.0 ST arrays are the same until the fragmentation and labeling steps.
Depending on the input amount, please refer to the GeneChip WT Pico Reagent Kit or the GeneChip WT PLUS Reagent Kit for the protocol:
- WT Pico: 50 - 500ng of total RNA
- WT PLUS: ≥ 100pg of total RNA (approx. 10 cells)
From the hybridization step onwards, the differences in protocol are due to the format of the arrays. The Exon array is a 49 format array, whereas the Gene 1.0 ST array is a 169 format array.
For the fluidics step the following scripts should be used depending upon which array you are using:
- Gene 1.0 St array: FS450_0001
- Exon 1.0 St array: FS450_0007
