CodeLink® Activated Slides and CodeLink® HD Activated Slides are coated with a proprietary three-dimensional surface chemistry comprised of a long-chain, hydrophilic polymer containing amine-reactive groups. This polymer is covalently crosslinked to itself and to the surface of the slide resulting in a three-dimensional active matrix that, combined with end-point attachment, orients the immobilized DNA and holds it upright from the surface of the slide. These properties make CodeLink slides an excellent choice for use in microarray applications.

Microarray technology was identified by the FDA’s Critical Path Initiative as a key tool that holds ‘vast potential’ for advancing medical product development and personalized medicine through the identification of biomarkers. In response to this initiative, the MicroArray Quality Control (MAQC) project was launched in 2005. Major findings of its first phase were published in six articles in the September 8, 2005 issue of Nature Biotechnology.
In one of the articles in this publication, data from the MAQC consortium demonstrate that the CodeLink slide surface yields higher levels of gene detection than other commercially available microarray surfaces: Shi, L. et al. Nature Biotechnology, 24:9, 1151-1161 (2006).
