`ddH2O
`~5 L
`NaOH
`70 g
`95% Ethanol

`
`1. Place slides in slide racks. Place racks in chambers.
`2. Prepare CLEANING SOLUTION:
`Dissolve 70 g NaOH in 280 mL ddH2O.
`Add 420 mL 95% ethanol. Total volume is 700 mL (= 2 X 350 mL); stir until completely mixed.
`If solution remains cloudy, add ddH2O until clear.
`3. Pour solution into chambers with slides; cover chambers with glass lids. Mix on orbital shaker for 2 hr.
`Once slides are clean, they should be exposed to air as little as possible. Dust particles will interfere with
`coating and printing.
`4. Quickly transfer racks to fresh chambers filled with ddH2O. Rinse vigorously by plunging racks up and
`down.
`Repeat rinses 4X with fresh ddH2O each time. It is critical to remove all traces of NaOHethanol.
`5. Prepare POLYLYSINE SOLUTION:
`70 mL polyLlysine + 70 mL tissue culture PBS in 560 mL water.
`Use plastic graduated cylinder and beaker.
`6. Transfer slides to polylysine solution and shake 15 min. 1 hr.
`7. Transfer rack to fresh chambers filled with ddH2O. Plunge up and down 5X to rinse.
`8. Centrifuge slides on microtiter plate carriers (place paper towels below rack to absorb liquid) for 5 min. @
`500 rpm.
`Transfer slide racks to empty chambers with covers for transport to vacuum oven.
`9. Dry slide racks in 45C vacuum oven for 10 min. (Vacuum is optional.)
`10. Store slides in closed slide box (plastic only, without rubber mat bottom)
`11. BEFORE PRINTING ARRAYS:
`Check that polylysine coating is not opaque.
`Test print, hyb and scan sample slides to determine slide batch quality.
