Probe Array Wash and Stain<br />

The Affymetrix staining protocol for mapping arrays is a three stage<br />

process consisting of a Streptavidin Phycoerythin (SAPE) stain,<br />

followed by an antibody amplification step and final stain with<br />

Streptavidin Phycoerythin (SAPE). Following staining, the array is<br />

filled with Array Holding Buffer prior to scanning as outlined in<br />

Table 5.5.<br />

1. After 16 to 18 hours of hybridization, remove the hybridization<br />

cocktail from the probe array and set it aside in a microcentrifuge<br />

vial. Store on ice during the procedure or at –80°C for long-term<br />

storage.<br />

2. Fill the probe array completely with 270 µL of Array Holding<br />

Buffer.<br />

If necessary, the probe array can be stored in the Array Holding<br />

Buffer at 4°C for up to 3 hours before proceeding with washing and<br />

staining. Equilibrate the probe array to room temperature before<br />

washing and staining.
