Our Array-to-Go service provides you with a comprehensive analysis of relevant genes of a biological process or a disease. It was developed towards highest sensitivity to compete with qPCR.

Are you wondering what’s the optimal mean to access just a few pathways or to study the activity of genes relevant in specific diseases or biological processes? With Array-to-Go we have the perfect solution for you. You can choose from 40 preconfigured Array-to-Go compilations for human, mouse and rat or simply have your Array-to-Go custom-tailored for any species with up to 2,000 of your genes of interest. Send us your samples and receive statistically analysed data two weeks later.

> benefit from lower costs and higher information value compared to qPCR-based gene set panels
> choose from a broad range of pre-configured Array-to-Go compilations for human, mouse and rat
> get most out of your budget with different Array-to-Go formats representing various numbers of genes
> have an Array-to-Go custom designed for any genes in any species at no charge
> get a comprehensive data analysis for free
> measure transcripts as sensitively as with qPCR with just 500ng total RNA

Our MIQE compliant RT-qPCR workflow is performed using state-of-the-art technologies. For each project, we carefully evaluate the optimal qPCR workflow starting from experimental design and assay design, over validation of assays and reference genes to reaction setup and data analysis.

OakLabs supports your qPCR projects with an all-round care free package:

• advice on experimental design
  
• RNA isolation
  
• quality control your total RNA (Nanodrop, Bioanalyzer)
  
• primer and probe design
  
• assay validation and optimization
  
• reverse transcription
  
• controls (NTC,-RT)
  
• run your samples in triplicates
  
• data report
  
• statistical analysis
  

We provide miRNA Services using the proven miRNA microarrays from Agilent for human, mouse or rat.

The service starts from 300ng total RNA (enrichment of small RNA is not required) and includes RNA QC with the Agilent Bioanalyzer, the miRNA microarray, RNA labeling, hybridization, scanning, and data extraction. Raw data are provided in Excel format.

Data analysis is available and includes statistics, outlier analysis and visualization of differentially expressed genes.

RNA isolation, RNA extraction and RNA purification using appropriate kits from Qiagen kits including DNase digestion and QC with the Agilent Bioanalyzer and Nanodrop photometer.

OakLabs is a leading provider of gene expression analysis services. With ArrayXS, we offer you a perfect tool for genome-wide gene expression analysis.

> maximise the information value by detecting mRNA and ncRNA genome-wide
> receive high quality data with an exceptional dynamic range of >5 logs
> interprete results easily with visualised differential expression of relevant pathways in maps
> available for the major model organisms and even more upon request
> benefit from highest reliability, reproducability and sensitivity of our experimentally validated microarrays

The ArrayXS service package includes:
1. Gene expression analysis - all-in service: processing and hybridization of RNA samples on ArrayXS 8x60K Agilent microarray
2. Data analysis: statistical analysis of two groups of 4 replicate samples, pathway realization.

Default turnaround time: 2 weeks

Additional Information:
RNA sample requirements: RNA sample shipping within the next six months after order placement; at least 500ng total RNA per sample is required for RNA quality control and microarray analysis; ideally, total RNA samples have a concentration of 20 – 200 ng/ul; if required, smaller amounts of starting material can also be processed for microarray analysis.

ArrayXS Microarrays are 8x60K Agilent microarrays and offer you the following benefits:

• maximise the information value by detecting mRNA and ncRNA genome-wide
  
• receive high quality data with an exceptional dynamic range of >5 logs
  
• interprete results easily with visualised differential expression of relevant pathways in maps
  
• available for the major model organisms and even more upon request
