Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is the part number for peristaltic tubing used inside the Fluidics Station 450 (Cat. No. 00-0079)?

The part number for Tubing, Peristatic Pump, 8.5" Long is 400110, which contains one tube per pack.

For the Fluidics Station 450 (Cat. No. 00-0079), how much wash buffer should I use for a single run when processing expression microarrays?

For most expression microarrays, the amount of wash buffer used during a single run is:
Wash A: approximately 150 mL
Wash B: approximately 50 mL

We recommend checking the user guide for your specific microarray for further details.

What fluidics protocol should I run for my Affymetrix array?

The array format and recommended fluidics protocols can be found in the packet insert of the array. This information can also be found in the the following document: Compatible Fluidics Script Table (https://assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/LSG/brochures/compatible_fluidics_script_table.pdf)
Note: Fluidics recommendations are based on the assumption that Affymetrix labeling kits and Hyb Wash Stain kits are being used.
