What types of nucleic acids can be analysed?

This system is designed for the analysis of both DNA and RNA, including PCR products, plasmids, genomic DNA, and total RNA.

Does it require specific consumables?

Yes, capillary electrophoresis systems typically require specific cartridges, buffers, and reagents designed for the instrument to ensure optimal performance and results.

How does it compare to traditional gel electrophoresis?

It offers significant advantages over traditional gel electrophoresis, including automation, higher resolution, improved sensitivity, and faster run times, reducing manual labour and increasing throughput.

Is training required to operate this equipment?

While user-friendly, basic training is generally recommended to ensure proper operation, method development, and accurate data interpretation for new users.

What kind of data output does it provide?

The system typically provides electropherograms, gel-like images, and quantitative data for fragment size, concentration, and purity, which can be exported for further analysis.
