General description
Corning hybridization chambers are designed to hold microarray slides (25 × 75 mm) at constant humidity during hybridization incubations. The O-ring and retaining clips ensure that the reusable chambers remain watertight when submerged in waterbaths and airtight in hybridization ovens. Wells in the base hold 10 to 15 µL of water to maintain optimal interior humidity.
The original Corning hybridization Chamber (CLS2551) provides the ideal interior height and volume for use with one slide of the standard 1 mm thickness and standard coverglass. The Corning Hybridization Chamber II (CLS40080) has an increased interior depth which not only allows for single slide hybridization, but also the user to place two arrays face-to-face and hybridize using a single labeled target. This chamber can also be used with raised-edge coverslips that are thicker or taller than standard thin coverglass.
