ANNOUNCEMENT: CHANGE IN ORDERING OF AFFYMETRIX CHIPS

Affymetrix is continually updating their GeneChip™ product line and the pricing of the arrays. To simplify and streamline the ordering of Affymetrix chips, the following changes have been made. It will no longer be necessary to order Affymetrix chips through the ArrayTracker system; you should order directly from Affymetrix via the usual method through your purchasing agent. Be sure to specify on your order that you should receive the discounted NCI/NIH pricing that Affymetrix has agreed to. For budgetary reasons, the subsidy for Affymetrix chips has been lowered from $150 to $100. To obtain the subsidy, please contact Dr. David Goldstein at goldsted@ncifcrf.gov.
