The post-processing includes processing the image-processed outputs according to different post-processing protocols with respect to different ones of those parts of the image corresponding to at least two of the arrays, to produce post-processed outputs. The method includes outputting at least one of the image-processed outputs and/or at least one of the post-processed outputs.

Abstract: A method and system for quantifying and correcting spatial-intensity trends for each channel of a microarray data set having one or more channels. The method and system of one embodiment of the present invention selects a set of features from each channel of the microarray data set. Based on the selected set of features, a surface is used to determine the intensities for all features in each channel of the microarray data set. Spatial-intensity trends within the microarray data set are quantified, based on the surface to the intensities for each channel of the microarray data set. After the surface has been determined, the spatial-intensity trend can be removed from the microarray data set.

Abstract: Feature locations are determined in an array image obtained from reading a chemical array comprising multiple features arranged in a polygon and which array optionally includes sub-arrays within the array. A complete image of the array or a sub-array is presented on a display. Magnified images of corner regions of the displayed complete image are simultaneously presented on the display with the complete image. A user selection of corners for the array or sub-array are received and an array or sub-array actual outline is generated by linearly connecting the user selected corners. The generated actual outline is presented on the magnified image and may also be simultaneously presented on the complete image. Feature locations in the array or sub-array image may be determined based on the actual outline.
