64 MICROARRAY SPOT QUALITY ASSESSMENT

Goals and Objectives of Quality Assessment The main goals of image-based spot quality assessment (or grid screening) are: • to identify grid cells that contain valid spots • to eliminate invalid spots from further analysis • The QA objective is to assess thoroughly a spot quality and associate a quality score with each spot as a reliability coefficient during further processing. • The QA automation objective is to completely eliminate any human interaction, and detect any systematic and unexpected errors. 65
