Oligonucleotide Microarrays| In Situ Synthesized Oligonucleotide Microarrays| Microarray Fabrication

The fabrication of microarrays, particularly how the probes are synthesized, can differ depending on whether a spotted microarray or an oligonucleotide microarray is used.

Oligonucleotide microarrays is the name used to describe a specific way of manufacturing probes for an array by producing short oligonucleotide sequences which represent a gene.

Microarrays can be manufactured to different sizes with the number of probes on a microarray ranging from ten to five million.
