Useful instrument, strong potential
Application Area: Electrophoresis separation for high sensitivity DNA/RNA analysis
"Useful system to analyze DNA and RNA in several applications: PCR, bands analysis, RNA and DNA integrity status, PCR, quantification etc etc. Easy to use, you can run till 384 samples at the same time. Quick results. Short expiration date of both products and CHIP: for multi-approach laboratories it could be a limitation. Strongly indicated for those laboratories in which the applications previously indicated are daily performed. It probably needs some modifications to increase its applicability to a wider range of laboratories."

Application Area:Purity Assessment
"Moving from gel electrophoresis to the Lapchip GX for purity assessment and quantification was such a process improvement. "
The LabChip GX is the most accurate and advanced nucleic acid separations system available. Like its predecessor the LabChip90, the GX suite of instruments utilizes PerkinElmer's innovative microfluidics technology to perform reproducible, high-resolution, eletrophoretic separations. Whether analyzing RNA integrity for better gene expression data or assessing PCR fragments for resequencing applications, the LabChip GX instrument accelerates your research and helps you generate more meaningful data, faster.
When speed, accuracy and ease-of-use are paramount, the LabChip GX is the perfect solution. With sample acquisition time less than a minute the instrument can thoroughly analyze 96 samples in less than an hour, virtually eliminating throughput bottlenecks and improving efficiency. In addition to the instrument, the complete system also includes the LabChip GX software for data analysis. This advanced data management suite allows users to visualize results via an electropherogram or virtual gel view. Additionally it provides data in tabular form, which can then be analyzed or easily exported into a spreadsheet format.
