CGR GeneChip® Microarray Fees*

Agilent Fee

Each total RNA sample will be run on the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 system to ensure its integrity prior to RNA labeling. To cover necessary reagents, there will be a fee of $25 per sample. Check with CGR staff regarding reduced fee for multiple samples.

RNA Labeling (Biotinylation) Fee

Each RNA will be labeled and can be hybridized sequentially to at least four GeneChip® probe arrays.

WSU/GRIP investigators: $250

Non-WSU investigators: Please contact the CGR for pricing

This fee covers cDNA synthesis, in vitro transcription reaction, sample clean up and quantitation, spiking with control RNAs, and making to 1X hybridization solution. The biotinylation fee is to cover the cost of reagents, and will include hybridization, fluidics station washing and staining, and scanning of up to four probe arrays per labeled RNA. The fee does not include the cost of the GeneChip® probe arrays

Machine Use Fee

1. There is no Machine Use fee for RNA samples labeled by the GeneChip® Microarray Core.
2. For WSU investigators that choose to label their own RNA samples, there will be a Machine Use fee of $50 per array to cover costs of stain, antibodies, and other reagents.
3. For Non-WSU investigators that label their own RNA samples, there will be a Machine Use fee of $100 per array.
