Microarrays prepared from macromolecular scaffold conjugates were found to be stable in all washing procedures used in our laboratory. However, mechanical wiping must be avoided, as it will damage the microarrays.

In a similar method, Lee and Shin (36) have developed hydrazide-coated glass slides to immobilize a wide range of carbohydrates including mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides in a simple, efficient, and chemoselective fashion. Preliminary protein-binding experiments show that carbohydrate microarrays prepared by this method are suitable for the high-throughput analysis of carbohydrate-protein interactions.

Estimation of results is done by measuring the intensity of fluorescence, which corresponds to the amount of gene expressed in the sample (Pandey et al. 2003 Labana et al. 2005). The three major steps of a microarray technology are preparation of microarray, preparation of labeled probes, and hybridization and finally, scanning, imaging, and data analysis (Labana et al. 2005 Esteve-Nunez et al. 2001).
