Bioanalyzer Agilent 2100

Commercial house: Agilent

Unit: 1

Location: Room 312

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is a microfluidics-based platform for sizing, quantification and quality control of DNA and RNA. After loading the sample on the Agilent chip of choice, the sample moves through microchannels and sample components are electrophoretically separated. Smaller fragments migrate faster than the larger ones. The fluorescent dye molecules intercalate into DNA or RNA strands. They are then detected by their fluorescence and translated into gel-like images (bands) and electropherograms (peaks).
The Genomics facility offers you the possibility of ordering your tests to verify the quality of your RNA. To use it, you only have to bring your samples and in a short period of time you will receive a file with your results. We have specific applications available for total RNA and mRNA.
