Illumina BeadArray technology
BeadArray technology is based on 3-micron silica beads that self-assemble in micro wells on planar silica slides. When randomly assembled on one of these two substrates, the beads have a uniform spacing of ~5.7 microns. Each bead is covered with hundreds of thousands of copies of a specific oligonucleotide that act as the capture sequences in one of Illumina's assays.
Illumina iScan
The Illumina iScan is an array scanner supporting rapid, sensitive and accurate imaging of Illumina BeadChips. It allows high sample throughput and flexible formats with a very high reproducibility. The iScan system contains a high-performance laser optic and detection system to offer submicron resolution.
Illumina BeadArray Reader
The BeadArray Reader is a laser scanning confocal microscope system that provides the ability to scan high-density BeadChips. This instrument is dedicated to expression array analysis.
Genotyping on Illumina arrays allow powerful genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and can accurately detect point mutations, copy number variants and chromosome aberrations.
Illuminas array-based genotyping is used for many different purposes:
- Association studies
- Linkage analysis
- Identification of haplotypes
- Breed identification
- Genomic selection and much more.

Illumina - Big in arrays - Not only genotyping!
Methylation
With Illumina methylation arrays, researchers can quantitatively interrogate methylation sites across the genome at single-nucleotide resolution. These arrays are ideal for epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS).
