The phrase "array card" is correct and usable in written English.
It is typically used in the context of computer hardware, referring to a circuit board that manages a collection of storage devices or memory modules.
Example: "The server's performance improved significantly after we upgraded the array card to a newer model."
Alternatives: "storage controller" or "disk array controller".
MiRNA expression profiling was performed using the Taqman Rodent MicroRNA Array Card A and Card B (Applied Biosystems) containing all 521 mature mouse miRNAs in miRBase 10.1 http://microrna.sanger.ac.uk.sanger.ac.uk
The pulses were acquired by a real-time field-programmable gate array card (National Instruments, Austin, TX), recorded by a LabView programme and analysed in MATLAB.
For validation of the microarray data, TaqMan® Array Rodent MicroRNA Cards (Applied Biosystems, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, USA) were performed according to the manufacturer's protocol with an input of 350 ng total RNA per array card and pre-amplification procedure.
The TaqMan® Array Card (TAC, Life Technologies™), can simultaneously test 7 clinical specimens for up to 21 individual pathogens (depending on arrangement of controls and use of duplicate wells) by arrayed singleplex RT-qPCR on a single assay card, using minimal amounts of clinical specimens.
This TaqMan array card can be used in field settings as a rapid screen for outbreak investigation or for the surveillance of pathogens, including Ebola virus.
The Taqman Array Card can screen many more patients, and much more quickly, for a wide variety of deadly pathogens.
Standardized TaqMan assays for detection of hepatitis viruses A-E have been described and applied to TaqMan Array Cards (TAC) which are capable of multiple pathogen detection using a single set of optimized PCR conditions.
All the array cards, real-time PCR system, and software were from Applied Biosystems.
The plates were run in Applied Biosystems Real-time PCR system (7900 HT) by selecting relative quantification (ΔΔCt) and 384 well TaqMan low density array cards.
Data from different array cards were then pooled for further analysis using DataAssist® software (Life Technologies).
TaqMan Low-Density Array cards (TLDAs) (Human MicroRNA A&B Cards V2.0) were run as per the manufacturer's guidelines (Applied BioSystems).
