Bright yellow array with reduced magnitude of expected changes
This can be due to insufficient Cot-1 DNA, blocking agents or hybridization and washing conditions that are not stringent enough.

Can this kit be used for labeling DNA for application to the Affymetrix’ aCGH platform?
This is not possible. The Affymetrix platform uses a biotin/streptavidin system with subsequent phycoerythrin-based detection, while Enzo’s CGH labeling kit…

How should the DNA be purified after labeling with Enzo’s CGH labeling kits?
Enzo's PCR & Gel Clean-up columns (ENZ-GEN100) are strongly recommended in this step. Also, Qiagen's QIAquick purification columns and buffers…
