5 reasons to upgrade your electrophoresis system for successful nucleic acids analysis


It’s time to replace tedious and time-consuming nucleic acid separation methods

Nucleic acid separation technologies are widely used for quality control of samples or as analytical tools to determine the size of PCR amplicons, RFLP fragments, NGS libraries, etc. Currently, the most commonly used method for nucleic acid separation is gel electrophoresis, using manually poured slab gels. However, this method is highly labor- and cost-intensive and exposes users to hazardous chemicals such as ethidium bromide.

QIAGEN provides 5 reasons why you should upgrade your electrophoresis system and embrace the future of nucleic acids analysis. Whether you are performing low- or high-throughput screening or complex, high-resolution analysis, the QIAxcel Advanced System combines high performance with maximum convenience. With short time to result and cost efficiency, the capillary electrophoresis system can cover all your applications from reliable genetic detection, DNA fingerprinting and genotyping to nucleic acid quality control analyses.
