Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer
The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is a microfluidics-based platform for sizing, quantification and quality control of DNA, RNA, proteins and cells. Our instrument is operated by core personnel only. Use the in-lab sign-up sheet to request the assay you would like us to run when you drop-off your samples. The core personnel will run the chip and output a .pdf file containing the results. If you need the raw data files for your run please indicate this fact on the sign-up sheet. It is up to the researcher to submit their samples within the proper concentration range. Charges are per chip. Depending on the assay you are using each chip holds 11-12 samples as listed below. The approximate turn around time is 1-3 days however, please note that large orders may take longer. We require minimum 3ul per sample.
