SCHOTT Technical Glass Solutions GmbH Drug discovery > Target Discovery Products & Reviews

SCHOTT offers a wide range of functional coating chemistries protein microarraying under the brand Nexterion®. The slides are manufactured from high quality borosilicate glass that has an ultra flat surface and low inherent fluorescence. The slides are available in standard slide or multiwell formats, with a standard functional coating, or also with an additional reflective dielectric layer (Nexterion® HiSens slides).

From SCHOTT, the Nexterion® HiSens are develeoped to significantly improve the signal to background ratios for identifying low-expressor genes or low-abundant proteins. The slides are available in all standard Nexterion® coatings.

From SCHOTT, the Nexterion® multi-well microarray substrates allow the parallel analysis of multiple biological samples against focused subsets of probes. SCHOTT offers multi-well coated substrates in differnt formats: Nexterion® MPX-16-wells and 48-wells on a 75.6 mm x 25.0 mm glass slide, or the Nexterion® MTP-96-wells in microplate format. The multi-well formats are available with most of the Nexterion® standard functional…

SCHOTT provides two different types of uncoated glass slides, Nexterion® Glass B (BOROFLOAT® 33) and D (D263T), for customers looking to apply their own functional coatings. Both glass materials are borosilicate glasses with high chemical resistance, excellent transmission, low fluorescence, and exceptional flatness and were specially selected by SCHOTT Microarray Solutions as the optimal glass types for microarray related app…

SCHOTT offers high-performance "cleaned and inspected" Nexterion® coverslips. A special high performance thin borosilicate glass that has a guaranteed thickness variation of less than plus-minus five microns. Nexterion® coverslips made of borosilicate glass are available with, or without functionalized coatings.

From SCHOTT, Aminosilane coated slides remain the most popular choice for printing PCR products, and long oligonucleotides, despite the emergence of innovative three-dimensional microarray surfaces, and other “active” surface chemistries such as epoxysilane.

From SCHOTT, the special multi-well architecture of Nexterion® Slide MPX allows the parallel analysis of multiple biological samples against focused subsets of probes on a single slide. The slides are available in most of the Nexterion® standard coatings. The dimensions of the microarray slide are fully compatible with all microarray printers and scanners, allowing users to run multiple samples on a single slide without any ad…

From SCHOTT, the microtiter plate format is a standard research tool for clinical diagnostics and drug discovery. The advantages associated with this format are obvious and include, high sample throughput, cost savings and compatibility with automated handling systems.

From SCHOTT, he reusable multi-well incubation chambers are available in either 16-well or 96 well format. The chambers are consisting of a flexible, black silicon superstructure held within a high quality, black anodized aluminium holder . The silicone superstructure is tightly held against the glass slide surface by two aluminium plates to create a leak-proof seal around each well. The press-fit silicone superstructure elimi…

From SCHOTT, the Nexterion® MPX-4 tray is designed to hold up to four Nexterion® slides. The tray allows the use of liquid dispensing systems, or multi-channel hand-held pipettes. The external dimensions of the MPX-4 tray are SBS microplate sized allowing the high throughput processing of up to 64 arrays simultaneously.

SCHOTT Microarray Solutions provides a range of ready-to-use reagents and complete slide processing kits optimized to get the best performance from the Nexterion® coated slides.
