The aim is a portrait that reflects the ongoing dynamic changes in both microarray methodologies and instrumentation and reflects the expanding range of investigators utilizing the technology. Laboratories using these technologies can participate in this study by following the instructions below to answer the web based survey forms. The survey forms are used to collect information such as instrumentation, protocols, staffing, funding, and throughput. These data will be analyzed to build a current profile of microarray analysis laboratories.
All data is contributed anonymously.
An analysis of the final data gathered over the course of this survey will be posted on the web. This survey is primarily designed to gather information from academic, pharmaceutical, and commercial laboratories that offer microarray technologies as a shared or core resource. However, we welcome and encourage the participation of individual laboratories which currently house and utilize microarray technologies. We ask that manufacturers refrain from participating in this survey, as such data is not consistent with the goals of the survey. There are three parts to this survey.
