The hybridized array was immediately scanned with an Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner (Agilent Technologies, Inc). at 2 μm resolution.
Arrays were immediately scanned at 5 μm.
After subsequent washing the arrays were immediately scanned.
Arrays were immediately scanned with a GenePix™ 4000B scanner (Axon Instruments), and images were analyzed with GenePixTM Pro 4.0 (Molecular Devices).
Arrays were immediately scanned using an Axon GenePix 4000b scanner (pixel size as set to 5 μm).
Arrays were immediately scanned in a G250B Microarray Scanner (Agilent) to obtain fluorescence intensities and Cy5/Cy3 ratios for each gene on the array (see below).
Arrays were immediately scanned after hybridization with a G2505C microarray scanner (Agilent) using standard photomultiplier tube settings and 5 μm scan resolution.
Arrays were immediately scanned at 5 μm resolution after drying using an Axon 4200AL scanner (635 nm for Cy5 and at 532 nm for Cy3) using the autoscan feature from the default setting and images were analysed with Gene Pix Pro 6.0 software (Molecular Device, Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA).
RNA samples were then hybridized for 16 h to in-house spotted LNA miRNA chips using a TECAN HS 400 hybridization station (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland) after which the arrays were immediately scanned by a GenePix 4000B laser scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA, USA).
The key element is the utilization of an ultracapacitors bank as energy regulation transitory element: in low irradiance condition, the energy coming from the PV array is not converted immediately, but temporary stored to be converted at a power regime in which the inverter may have maximum yield.
Following bead loading, lysis buffer was introduced into the array, and the array was then immediately sealed by introducing fluorinated oil.
