Quality control
Qubit Flex (Thermo Fischer)
- Measures up to eight samples simultaneously
- Minimizes assay variability
- High sensitivity
- Used fluorescent dyes emit signals only when bound to specific targets, minimizing the effects of contaminants, including degraded DNA or RNA
- Significantly more sensitive than UV absorption
Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent)
- Automated electrophoresis based on microfluidics
- Greatly reduced sample (1 µL for nucleic acids) and reagent consumption
- Determination of size, quantification, integrity and purity of DNA and RNA
Fragment Analyzer 5200 (Agilent)
- Parallel automated capillary electrophoresis (12-capillary setup)
- Low sample concentration needed
- Clean results with separation resolution down to 3 bp for fragments 300 bp and less
