The Center bases its work on the following instruments:

• The GeneChip® Hybridization Oven 640 - provides precise temperature and cartridge rotation for continuous mixing.
• The GeneChip® Fluidics Station 450 - for the wash and stain operation of Affymetrix GeneChip® arrays. 
• The GeneChip® Scanner 3000 7G with Autoloader - allows to scan higher-density arrays.

Affymetrix Software in the Center:

Affymetrix® GeneChip® Command Console® Software (AGCC)  summarizes probe cell intensity data (.CEL file generation).

Available applications:

• Copy Number Analysis
• Cytogenetics Analysis
• miRNA Profiling
• Transcriptome Profiling
