Individual array design and production for all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms according to our proprietary and flexible developmental procedure is one of our strengths. All data gained is compatible with our catalog arrays. It is possible to use labelled cDNA on all our arrays in the same way and to switch back and forth between a custom and a catalog array if required.

Custom arrays can comprise an individual subset from a catalog array, e.g., defined with our Compact Gene Index. A smaller selection of genes allows comprehensive investigation of expression profiles of tissues under many different conditions, as the data is still manageable and the experiments are affordable.

Custom arrays can also be designed de novo from our customer's sequencing data, either collected from public databases, provided by the customer, or established in our sequencing facility.

The process of designing and manufacturing our OciChip arrays is described in detail in the section Ocimum Array Concept.

• Arrays are based on purified, high quality oligonucleotides
• MALDI TOF QC guarantees 100% full length product and proves identity of the oligo sequences
• 50-mer probes offer optimal balance of specificity and sensitivity
• Powerful bioinformatics almost always delivers one oligonucleotide probe per gene

All Custom OciChip arrays are also available as OligoSets.
