The Fragment Analyzer™ Automated CE System
The Fragment Analyzer™ Automated CE System is a fluorescence-based capillary electrophoresis instrument for both sizing and quantifying nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). By using a sensitive intercalating dye
coupled with a powerful LED light source, Fragment Analyzer™ Automated CE System obviates the need for
fluorescent labeled primers and can be used to separate dsDNA fragments and RNA (mRNA and total
RNA). The Fragment Analyzer™ Automated CE System is the most flexible system on the market today, with
the greatest sensitivity, the highest separation resolution over a wide range, the widest dynamic range and
the fastest separation times.
This instrument comes available for customers who wish to run either 12 samples or 96 samples at a time.
Currently kits are available to:
• quantify and qualify NGS fragments.
• quantify and qualify RNA.
• quantify and qualify genomic DNA.
• do Mutation Detection, also known as TILLiNG, a reverse genetics technique.
The application kits help laboratories to streamline workflow and avoid bottlenecks typically found
with competitive lab-on-a-chip methods. Gels formulated to provide high resolution separation are
also available for general fragment analysis, such as SSR/microsatellites, small and large PCR fragments
(amplicons) and resolve fragments sized between 10 bp and 40,000 bp with resolution down to 2bp.
Each and every kit is performance-tested prior to shipment to ensure quality, accuracy and ease of use
for customers. Most kits require a single pipetting step before placement of the sample plate onto the
instrument.
An analytical software package, PROSize™, greatly reduces post-separation analysis time. Put them all together — the instrument itself, the QC-tested application kits, and the analytical software — and the combination makes the Fragment Analyzer™ Automated CE System a powerful package for reducing labor and improving lab workflow and throughput.
