Spotting Solution
Components DMSO, SSC, phosphate buffer, SDS
Slides Nexterion Slide E
Probes 70mer (from E. coli Genome Oligo Set Version 1.0) 10 µM
Spotting QArray Mini, 22°C, 45% RH, SMP3 pin (Telechem), aQu Split Pin K2801 (diameter 150 µm)
Target total RNA (E.coli) was used to synthesize aa-cDNA, the coupling of NHS-ester-dyes (Nexterion Dye3 and Dye5) was performed
with a standard protocol derived from a Cy3/Cy5 labeling protocol,
Hybridization Tecan Hybridization Station HS4800, in 5xSSC, 0.1% SDS, 0.1 mg/ml herring sperm DNA, 50% formamide, 42°C, 16 hrs
Scanning Affymetrix Array Scanner 428

....some remarks
the following images show results after hybridization
blue spots mean lower signal, green spots mean higher signals
suitable buffers were highlighted in red
spot diameter was only determined for good spots

best results were obtained when combining DMSO with SSC and with or without SDS (but only for f.c. SDS of 0.005%, higher concentrations lead to precipitation)
a combination of DMSO, phosphate buffer and SDS does not work
further tests with additional combinations of DMSO, SSC and other detergents will be tested

Summary
50 (30%) DMSO in water usually gives very small spots on Slide E (approximately 60 µm)
addition of SSC (f.c. 1.5x to 2.5x) with or without detergent (f.c. 0.005% to 0.025%) gives good spot morphology and size
spot size can be increased by increasing SSC concentration and/or adding detergent
50(30)% DMSO is not compatible with Next Spot or phosphate buffer (150 mM f.c. phosphate buffer), addition of detergent does not improve spot morphology*
