The Functional Genomics Core provides researchers with high quality microarray data using Thermo Fisher expression and genotyping arrays. We provide these services at minimum cost and low turnaround time to researchers. The Functional Genomics Core has been in operation since 2000. We currently have Beckman Coulter's Biomek FXP Target Prep Express robot and the GeneTitan Instrument from Life Technologies which allow the processing of hundreds of microarray samples in a week. Also, we have the Life Technologies GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G Plus Targeted Genotyping System in the Core. It has the ability to scan all research arrays manufactured by Life Technologies including the high density expression arrays which place an entire genome on one GeneChip. This equipment includes 2 Fluidics Station 450s and the GeneChip Hybidization Oven 645.
