Automated Electrophoresis System For DNA/RNA Analysis

MultiNA microchip-based capillary electrophoresis analyzer provides high-speed analysis of DNA and RNA samples. At recommended conditions, chips can process 3,600 or more analyses before needing to be replaced, with no detectable carryover. Pre-treatment, separation, detection and data analysis are all automated in a single device. AN LED-excited fluorescence detector increases sensitivity to more than 10 times that of ethidium bromide staining. The system can register up to 120 automatic analyses at a time, or perform analysis from an individual sample. By parallel processing up to four microchips, it can produce electrophoresis results in just 75 seconds in its shortest analysis mode.
