DNA well

16 x 24 DNA Hybridization Plate
Above is a picture of the computer representation of a 384 hybridization plate for SNP [single nucleotide polymorphism] genotyping on the Beckman SNPstream platform. Each 16 dot “well” can genotype 12 SNPs in a sample. Fluorescently labeled DNA from a sample hybridizes to DNA-analogs arranged in a grid at the bottom of each well. (more…)
