You can use eArray to request a quote from Agilent for catalog microarrays, or your own custom microarrays. The process is the same for arrays in both individual and collaboration workspaces.
Note: A separate topic describes how to request a quote for bait libraries for the SureSelect Target Enrichment application type. See Request quote for library.
You must be a registered user in eArray.
The microarray must be located in a folder within eArray that you can view.
For custom microarrays, you must submit the design to Agilent Manufacturing before you request a quote for it. (Note: Designs that have been submitted to Agilent Manufacturing have a status of Submitted.)
Note: If you are a guest user, and want to request a quote for microarrays through the eArray system, you must first become a registered user. Registered users have access to eArray's extensive tools for creating custom microarrays, both as individuals and in collaboration with others.
Click the Workspace tab (or enter a collaboration).
Set the application type.
Do one of the following:
In the Home tab, in the My Designs pane, next to the desired microarray design/set, click Quote.
Search or browse for the desired microarray. In the search results, next to the desired microarray design/set, click Quote.
In an individual or collaboration workspace, click Microarray > Request Quote. At the top of the page, select the desired type of microarray. My Microarray Designs/Sets are ones that you have created and submitted in eArray. Catalog Microarray Designs/Sets are ones from the Agilent Catalog. Next to the desired microarray, in the Actions column, click Quote.
In each case, the Request Quote page appears. The name of the design/set, its design format, and associated design number(s) appear under Microarray Details.
Under Quote Details, in Quantity, type the number of microarray slides (or sets of slides, for microarray sets) that you want. The corresponding total number of microarrays appears in Array Quantity. Example: If you type 5 in Quantity, and your design format is 8 X 15K, 40 appears in Array Quantity.
Click Next. A confirmation page appears, with details of your quote request.
Do any of the following:
To change the quote request, click Edit Quote Request. You can edit the Quantity of arrays.
To print the page, click the Print button.
To delete the quote request, click Cancel.
To submit the quote request to Agilent, click Submit. A success message appears.
Click Close. A completion message appears. After eArray processes your request, you receive a confirmation e-mail from Agilent. An Agilent sales representative will contact you to follow up on the quote.
Click Home. eArray returns you to your individual or collaboration workspace home page.
