Corning® Microarray Surfaces:
Corning Epoxide Coated Slides

---

	Figure 1. Epoxide slides allow covalent bonding of  unmodified or amino-modified short and long oligonucleotides.

Corning® Epoxide Coated Slides are designed for covalent attachment of unmodified or amino-modified short oligonucleotides (~30-mer), as well as long oligonucleotides (>50-mer) and cDNA.

Epoxide Coated Slides have a uniform coating of a 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane epoxide chemistry that enables covalent attachment of unmodified and amino-modified oligonucleotides to the glass substrate (Figure 1). The coating is applied on both sides of the slides using a proprietary process under tightly controlled manufacturing conditions. The slides offer a printing surface of unmatched cleanliness, high DNA-binding capacity, uniformity, and stability.
