Microarray scanners are used in molecular biology laboratories to analyze microarrays by detecting and measuring the fluorescence signals emitted by the microarray slides during analysis. Microarray readers have numerous uses in laboratories including DNA sequencing, genotyping, gene expression analysis, and protein-protein interaction studies. Key specs to consider when comparing microarray scanners are the sensitivity and dynamic range as these are crucial for the scanner's ability to detect weak signals and quantify the intensity of fluorescence. The resolution should also be compared to ensure adequate precision for your analysis. High throughput laboratories should consider purchasing a model with rapid scanning speed to keep up with their analysis needs.
