One of the big challenges in microarray data analysis generating reliable,

high-quality image-analysis results. Agilent’s Feature Extraction (FE) software

reads and processes up to 100 raw microarray image fi les in an automated,

walkaway mode. It fi nds and places microarray grids, rejects outlier pixels,

accurately determines feature intensities and ratios, fl ags outlier features, and

calculates statistical confi dences. Application-specifi c QC reports summarize

multiple analyses. FE is a key component of Agilent’s comprehensive informatics

platform that integrates complementary technologies and multidisciplinary

approaches. It produces output fi les compatible with Agilent’s GeneSpring GX,

GeneSpring Workgroup, and DNA Analytics software, as well as

Rosetta® Resolver and other microarray data analysis applications. -One of the big challenges in microarray data analysis is generating reliable,
