One of the big challenges in microarray data analysis is generating reliable, 
high-quality image-analysis results. Agilent’s Feature Extraction (FE) software 
reads and processes up to 100 raw microarray image fi  les in an automated, 
walkaway mode. It fi  nds and places microarray grids, rejects outlier pixels, 
accurately determines feature intensities and ratios, fl  ags outlier features, and 
calculates statistical confi  dences. Application-specifi  c QC reports summarize 
multiple analyses. FE is a key component of Agilent’s comprehensive informatics 
platform that integrates complementary technologies and multidisciplinary 
approaches. It produces output fi  les compatible with Agilent’s GeneSpring GX, 
GeneSpring Workgroup, and DNA Analytics software, as well as 
Rosetta®  Resolver and other microarray data analysis applications.
