  • Hybridization chamber for high density nucleic acid arrays
    Patent number: 6555361
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hybridization chamber that contains a built-in mechanism for saturating the air within the chamber when sealed thereby preventing drying of the liquid sample. The hybridization chamber is defined by matching top and bottom clam-shell like halves that, when brought together, are sealed by an o-ring and clamping device. The chamber is equipped with a liquid reservoir, the liquid from which will serve to saturate the volume of air sealed within the hybridization chamber. A saturated atmosphere within the chamber prevents evaporation of the sample.
