Orientation Settings and Controls
| Orientation Grid Alignment Mark (OGAM) |
| |
| Probe ID Number: PH_c_0000089 |
| |
| Purpose: To define the orientation of the scanned image |
| |
| OGAM is a Cy3/Cy5 labeled 60-mer oligonucleotide probe designed from an alien sequence that does not cross-hybridize with Mouse targets. It is located on top of the upper left corner of the print region and serves as an orientation landmark for template registration as different scanners may have different image orientation output formats. |
| |
| Corner Grid Alignment Marks (CGAM) |
| |
| Probe ID Number: PH_c_0000072 |
| |
| Purpose: To define the corners of the scanned image, and to assist with image analysis. |
| |
| CGAMs are mixtures of Cy3/Cy5 labeled 60-mer oligo designed from an alien sequence that does not cross-hybridize with mouse targets. CGAMs are located at the four corners of the image and serve as the orientation landmarks for auto or manual grid alignment under Cy3 (532 nm) or Cy5 (635 nm) scanning channel. |

| Grid Alignment Mark (GAM) |
| |
| Probe ID Number: PH_c_0000001 |
| |
| Purpose: To assist in adjusting the scanner settings; to monitor the scanner performance across the scanned region. |
| |
| GAM control probe is a Cy3 labeled 60-mer oligonucleotide probe designed from an alien sequence that does not cross-hybridize with mouse targets. More than 90 GAM features are evenly distributed across the arrayed area, and these features can be excited by a 532 nm laser without hybridization. GAM probes can serve as orientation or grid-alignment landmarks. |
|
| Analysis Instructions: |
| |
- Convert scanned data into Excel format
- Sort data by column ‘ID’
- Copy ~90 rows of data with ID PH_c_0000001
- Obtain the median, mean, and standard deviation of the signals in the ‘F532 Median’ and ‘F532 Mean’ columns.
|
| |
| Expected Outcome: When the suggested scanner settings from the OneArray User Guide are used, saturated or near-saturated signal should be observed for all GAM probes. |

Dye Intensity Controls
| Cy3 Intensity Ladder |
|
|
Probe ID Numbers: PH_c_0000010 to PH_c_0000017
Purpose: To assist in adjusting the scanner settings.
Cy3 Intensity Ladder probes are Cy3-labeled 60-mer oligonucleotide probes designed from an alien sequence that do not cross-hybridize with mouse targets. Eight dilutions, and three to six replicates of each dilution can be excited by a 532 nm(Cy3) laser without hybridization.
Analysis Instructions:
- Convert scanned data into Excel format
- Sort data by column name ‘ID’
- Copy ~90 rows of data with IDs above.
- Obtain the mean of the 3-6 replicates signals in the ‘F532 Median’ and ‘F532 Mean’ columns.
Expected Outcome: When the suggested scanner settings from the OneArray User Guide are used, saturated or near-saturated signal should be observed for probe PH_c_0000016. Scanner settings should be adjusted so that the signal increases linearly from the lowest concentration unit in order to observe the saturation level.

Positive Controls
| Intrinsic Hybridization Controls (IHCs) |
|
|
Probe ID Number: PH_c_0000100
Purpose: To monitor the overall quality of sample processing and hybridization efficiency.
IHCs contain a mixture of probes from 10 robustly expressed housekeeping genes that serve as built-in positive controls. The probe mixture is dispensed at a fixed concentration, and more than 95 IHC features are evenly distributed across the arrayed area.
NOTE: Occasionally, some spots will be missing or misaligned, so the intensity results can be removed for a more accurate average.

|
Intrinsic Hybridization Ladder (IHL) |
|
|
Probe ID Numbers: PH_c_0000101 to PH_c_0000116
Purpose: To monitor the overall quality of sample processing and hybridization efficiency.
The IHL probes are dispensed in serial dilutions of IHCs. The data extracted from IHL after target hybridization can be used to construct a hybridization intensity response curve depending on different dilutions of the probe mixture, which serves as an indicator of the overall consistency of sample processing and hybridization stringency.
Analysis Instructions
- Convert scanned data into Excel format.
- Sort data by column name ‘ID’.
- Copy rows of data with IDs above.
- Obtain the mean of the 3-6 replicate signals in the ‘F532 Median’ and ‘F635 Median’ columns.
Expected Outcome: When the suggested scanner settings from the OneArray User Guide are used, saturated or near-saturated signal should be observed for all IHC probes. Scanner settings should be adjusted so that the signal increases linearly from the lowest to highest concentration IHL.

Ambion ArrayControl™ RNA SPIKE #1-8 |
|
|
Probe ID Numbers: AM_c_0000015 to AM_c_0000022
Purpose: To monitor the specificity of hybridization; can be used with spike-in positive controls to determine the sensitivity of the hybridization and troubleshoot target preparation and labeling reactions.
Sequence information for ArrayControl™ RNA SPIKE #1-8 from Ambion, Inc., has been licensed for use with Mouse OneArray microarrays. Using the sequence information, eight 60-mer oligonucleotide probes are designed to complement the respective RNA SPIKES. These probes are alien probe sequences that do not cross-hybridize with mouse genomic probes on the Mouse OneArray DNA microarray.
Analysis Instructions:
- Convert scanned data into Excel format
- Sort data by column name ‘ID’
- Copy rows of data with IDs AM_c_0000015 to AM_c_0000022
- Obtain the mean of the 3-6 replicates signals in the ‘F532 Median’ and ‘F635 Median’ columns.
Expected Outcome: To learn more about the usage of RNA SPIKES, please visit Applied Biosystems Ambion website:

Extrinsic Target Quality Control (ETQC) |
|
|
Probe ID Numbers: PH_c_0000066 to PH_c_0000071
Purpose: To monitor the specificity of hybridization.
ETQC probes are alien probe sequences that do not cross-hybridize with mouse genomic probes on Mouse OneArray DNA microarray. The targets to these probes can be prepared separately as RNA containing poly-A tail and spiked into the experimental RNA sample to monitor target preparation quality and determine the sensitivity of the hybridization reaction.
Analysis Instructions:
- Convert scanned data into Excel format
- Sort data by column name ‘ID’
- Copy rows of data with IDs PH_c_0000066 to PH_c_0000071
- Obtain the mean of the 3-6 replicates signals in the ‘F532 Median’ and ‘F635 Median’ columns.
Expected Outcome: These probes emit background-level signal. Targets matching to these probes can be obtained and used in a manner similar to the Ambion ArrayControl™ RNA SPIKE controls.
