The compact Agilent 2200 TapeStation a system automates RNA, DNA and protein sample QC, including sample loading, separation, and imaging. The Agilent 2200 TapeStation system is a revolutionary automated platform for simpler, faster and more reliable electrophoresis.
The 2200 TapeStation is ideal for the very rapid characterisation of DNA or RNA samples, including quality assessment, establishing DNA/RNA size ranges and quantification.Wemight want to use this equipment to establish the quality of RNA extracted from a plant or microbe, for example, or for determining how well sample preparation has gone for next generation sequencing.
The number of samples analysed is flexible between 2 to 96, loaded in tube strips or 96 well plates. DNA or RNA fragments are separated out on a pre-cast mini electrophoresis system, a screentape. There is very little sample preparation required and the system loads, separates and analyses samples in run times of 1-2 minutes per sample. Results are shown in the form of a graph or high quality gel image. This rapid analysis is a huge advantage in many lab processes, enabling workflows to proceed much faster and with greater sensitivity or accuracy than other more manual techniques.
Within the FDU, the 2200 TapeStation is used extensively within a range of processes, e.g. DNA and RNA library preparation for theIon Torrent sequencing platform, or checking RNA sample integrity following extraction or after mRNA isolation.
Features:
Flexible and scalable throughput switches easily between tube strips and 96-well microplates
Fast Results are obtainable in one minute per sample
Simple to use Simplify your workflow
