Corning® Microarray Surfaces:
Corning® UltraGAPS™ Coated Slides

---

	Figure 1. UltraGAPS™ Coated Slides have a positive charge to facilitate ionic interactions with oligonucleotides.

Corning® UltraGAPS™ Coated Slides are the substrate of choice for fabricating DNA microarrays of the highest and most consistent quality. UltraGAPS™ Coated Slides are recommended for printing arrays of double-stranded DNA or long (>50-mer) oligonucleotides, and when substrate stability and consistency are absolute requirements.

UltraGAPS™ Coated Slides have a uniform, covalently bound coating of pure Gamma Amino Propyl Silane (GAPS; Figure 1). The GAPS coating is applied to both sides of the slides using a proprietary process under tightly controlled manufacturing conditions. UltraGAPS™ Coated Slides offer a printing surface of unmatched cleanliness, high DNA binding capacity, uniformity, and stability.
