The Bioanalyzer utilizes 'Lab-on-a-Chip' technology to integrate sample preparation, fluid handling, separation, detection, and data analysis. Providing researchers with standardized methods and enhanced reproducibility. Each chip contains an interconnected set of gel-filled channels that allow for molecular sieving of nucleic acid and protein samples.
Quick and Easy Operation
*Simple chip preparation requires less than 20 minutes set-up time. *Ready to use reagent kits. *Only 1ul of sample required *Only 30 minutes to run and analyze 11-12 samples. *Data is displayed as a gel-image or electropherogram *Automatically calculates fragment size, concentration, ribosomal RNA ratios, *High detection sensitivity. More sensitive than a polyacrylamide gel stained with EtBr or SYBR Gold. *Built in quality control with custom array ladders.
Independent Access Please note: Due to COVID-19, training is suspended until further notice.
The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is available for independent access once users have been satisfactorily trained by lab personnel.
