A snapshop of the quickly changing state of the art

_Microarray Biochip Technology_ provides a nice summary of microarray technologies at the time of publication (early 2000) from one of the persons (Mark Schena) who ought to know. To learn the latest and greatest, you'll still have to find the most recent review articles. However, this book is a useful handbook for getting started with the basics of microarray technologies.The focus is on the hardware for spotting, not as much on scanning or data analysis. I like it somewhat better as a practical guide for the basics than Rampal's _DNA Arrays_, which covers a alternate uses of microarrays.

A good door to enter the microarray field

This book is quite basic and it does not have specific protocols however it does give you a general overview to methods of several players in the field. You just have to keep on reminding yourself that each company presents itself so everything is seen through the optimistic point of view.

Excellent book !

This is a book for the people interesting the microarray technology. Very helpful for the begineer , and also for the experts. A lot of resources for the applications, and details in the hardware, software ,and fabricating
