ABSTRACT:
The present invention has an objective of obtaining more accurate data of microarray experiments by correcting an inter-pin spotting amount error caused upon microarray production using a plurality of pins. Upon microarray production, samples are immobilized on a microarray support using all pins as controls for correcting the inter-pin spotting amount errors. After the microarray experiments, luminescent intensities of the samples used as control spots for correcting the inter-pin spotting amount errors are measured and used to obtain correction parameters for the inter-pin spotting amount errors of respective pins. These parameters are used to correct luminescent intensities of other samples.
