Microarrays are molecular biology assays which allows large amounts of biological material, often DNA, to be assayed through a high-throughput screening method. Microarrays are two-dimensional arrays found on a solid substance, such as a glass slide or silicon. There are many different types of microarrays. These include DNA microarrays, MMChips, Carbohydrate arrays, antibody microarrays, cellular microarrays, tissue microarrays and protein microarrays. Find protocols and links on microarrays.
