From: Efficiency, error and yield in light-directed maskless synthesis of DNA microarrays
Stepwise coupling efficiency of dT with or without a 30 s helium drying step following capping. All of the plots are from data from a single 4-plex coupling microarray. The results show that the helium significantly increases coupling yield and that the helium step only increases the coupling efficiency of the immediately preceding coupling step. Percent coupling efficiency is derived from two parameter exponential fits of the data. Error bars are the standard deviation of the replicates.
