GenePix Array List (GAL) file downloads for quantitative antibody arrays

Quantitative antibody arrays:

• quantitate up to 40 proteins per array with as little as 50 µL of sample
• easily processed in parallel to measure over 400 human and 200 mouse cytokines & other proteins, plus rat and other species
• analyze with a microarray laser slide scanner

Before antibody array data can be analyzed, the intensities of the array spots must be extracted from the array image files and correctly identified. If you are using glass slide-based arrays (e.g. our quantitative antibody arrays), this can be challenging due to the large number of spots on a single slide.

The GenePix Array List (GAL) file facilitates the creation of data extraction grids which can be loaded into most fluorescent densitometry software.  Each GAL file is specific for an individual antibody array and is pre-programmed with spot identities, spot diameters, and distances between spots. 

The researcher can simply position the grid over the subarray image, extract the data, and the fluorescence intensities will be correctly labeled and outputted to a GenePix Results (GPR) file. This raw data can then be used for analysis.
