Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for managing information relating to processing of polymer probe arrays, said method comprising the steps of:creating an electronically-stored experiment table, said experiment table storing a record for an experiment, said experiment record comprising: a first identifier identifying a target sample applied to a polymer probe array chip in said experiment; a second identifier identifying said polymer probe array chip to which said target sample was applied in said experiment; creating an electronically-stored chip table, said chip table storing a record for said polymer probe array chip, said chip record comprising: said second identifier identifying said polymer probe array chip; and a third identifier specifying a layout of polymer probes on said polymer probe array chip; and associating an output image file with said electronically-stored chip table, wherein said polymer probe array chip is applied with a target sample derived from a biological source to produce said output image file.
