Volume 20 Issue 4, April 2002
An etched fiber-optic bundle used to create a self-assembled bead array for the analysis of alternatively spliced mRNAs (see Fu and colleagues, p.353). A pit at the tip of each fiber holds a 3.1 micron bead bearing between 500,000 and 750,000 oligonucleotides. Binding of labeled sample oligonucleotides is detected by a camera at the other end of the fibers.
