Thermo Fisher Scientific Axiom Maize6H Genotyping Array (60K), mini 96 format

Applied Biosystems™ Axiom™ Maize6H Genotyping Array (60K), mini 96 format

The Axiom Maize6H Genotyping Array (60K) is part of the Axiom Genotyping Solution, in which target genomic DNA is prepared and processed on the GeneTitan Multi-Channel Instrument.
The automated workflow includes hybridization of genomic DNA to the microarray, followed by staining, washing, imaging, and output of SNP genotyping data for downstream analysis.

This array was developed in collaboration with the Maize Research Center, Beijing Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences (China) and is also available in 384HT format (Cat. No. 551098).
