The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is a simple benchtop system with ready-to-run kits for a variety of uses.
- DNA size and quantity: High resolution separation and quantification of DNA down to pg/µL sensitivity
- RNA quality check with RIN: The industry standard for RNA analysis offering total RNA, mRNA and small RNA's data including RIN algorithm (RNA integrity number)
- SDS-PAGE replacement for protein analysis: A quick and reliable way to determine the quantity and purity of proteins from Coomassie down to silver stain sensitivity.
Microfluidics use interconnected networks of micro-channels and wells to analyze various sample types. The technology reduces overall space and volume requirements and allows online integration of many workflow steps such as:
- sample enrichment
- separation
- staining
- de-staining
- detection.
With the use of microfluidics, users can:
- dramatically reduce sample and reagent consumption
- speed up analysis time
- reduce hands-on activities during sample preparation and data analysis.
The bioanalyzer is the first microfluidic lab-on-a-chip system for the electrophoretic analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins as well as the flow-cytometric analysis of cells. This versatility makes the bioanalyzer an excellent tool for molecular biologists and biochemists.
