The BioPrime™ Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems are a high-performance labeling kits that enable reproducible labeling of genomic DNA samples for array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH). Available in both indirect and direct labeling formats, the BioPrime™ Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems provide a flexible solution to your genomic labeling needs. Using the
BioPrime™ Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems, you can expect:
––High yields of fluorescently labeled genomic DNA
–signal-to-noise ratios
–detection of gene copy number variations (Figure 1)


These systems combine a highly concentrated exo-Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I and random primers to effectively label genomic targets for sensitive genomic profiling experiments. Exo-Klenow is a mutant of the large fragment of the DNA polymerase I holoenzyme that has both 5´ - 3´ and 3´ - 5´ exonuclease activity removed. The lack of exonuclease activity makes this enzyme ideal for use in random priming protocols, enabling robust yields and efficient incorporation of Alexa Fluor™ AHA fluorescent nucleotides. In the BioPrime™ Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems, random octamers anneal to template DNA, providing priming sites for the exo- Klenow enzyme. Alexa Fluor™ AHA modified nucleotides (direct labeling) or amino-allyl modified nucleotides (indirect labeling) are incorporated as the polymerase extends from the priming sites. The labeled samples are then purified to remove contaminants prior to denaturing and hybridization to a microarray (direct labeling systems) or coupled to the Alexa Fluor™ NHS ester (indirect labeling systems) prior to hybridization (Figure 2).

Contents & Storage
Table 1 summarizes the components of the various BioPrime™ Array CGH Labeling Systems. The BioPrime™ Core Module is found in all standard BioPrime™ and BioPrime™ Plus Systems and Modules. It contains exo-Klenow fragment (40 U/ μl), 2.5X random primer solution (octamers), control DNA (Salmon Sperm), stop buffer, and distilled water. Store at -20°C. The BioPrime™ Plus Systems and Modules contain the Alexa Fluor™ modified dNTP mixes or amine modified dNTP mixes and the Alexa Fluor™ NHS Esters. Store at -20°C. The standard BioPrime™ and BioPrime™ Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems also contain purification columns and purification buffers. Store at room temperature. All components are guaranteed for 6 months when properly stored. See Table 1 for product component summary.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can the PureLink columns provided to purify labeled cDNA probes be purchased separately? Which stand-alone columns are compatible?

The PureLink PCR purification system (Cat. Nos. K3100-01, K3100-02) can be used to purify labeled probe. Because tubes provided with stand-alone kit are not amber, be sure to protect your probe from light if you are doing direct labeling. Please contact Technical Support for the protocol.

Can the BioPrime Array CGH Genomic Labeling System be used for SNP analysis?

We do not recommend using the BioPrime Array CGH Genomic Labeling System to amplify genomic DNA for SNP analysis because the exo-Klenow polymerase has no proofreading activity.
