DNA

Standard DNA Fragment QC

​

Perform highly accurate and precise DNA electrophoresis with the Bioanalyzer DNA analysis solutions. Together with the 2100 Bioanalyzer instrument, the DNA kits enable the analysis of next-generation sequencing libraries and high resolution multiplex PCR reactions, measuring precise size and concentration of all DNA fragments and smears. A large linear dynamic range allows detection of small impurities in PCR purifications.

Besides sample quality control of next-generation sequencing (NGS) libraries, additional

research applications for the Bioanalyzer DNA assays include PCR amplicon analysis,

multiplex PCR amplicons, gene expression analysis by RT-PCR, restriction fragment analysis,

and the detection of targeted cleavage in gene editing studies.

​

Features

  • High Sensitivity from laser (LIF) detection of DNA fragments down to 0.1 ng.

  • The broad linear dynamic range allows detection of weak bands without saturation from abundant fragments.

  • Sizing and quantitation accuracy and reproducibility results from pre-packaged reagents, standardized assays and automated data analysis.

  • Minimal sample consumption is required as only 1 µL is needed for the assay, saving precious material for downstream experiments.

  • Fast results are provided, with the analysis of 12 samples performed in only 30 minutes (approximately).

  • Safety is ensured with minimal exposure to hazardous materials, such as ethidium bromide, as only minimal reagents are used.

Whether fragmented DNA or DNA sequencing libraries, the Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity DNA Kit reliably sizes and quantifies limited samples in the lower pg/µL concentration range.

The High Sensitivity DNA assays are often used for sample quality control for next-

generation sequencing libraries. In addition, PCR amplicon analysis, multiplex PCR

amplicons, gene expression analysis by RT-PCR, restriction fragment analysis,

and detection of targeted cleavage in gene editing studies may all be carried out.

Accuracy is ensured with a broad linear dynamic range and normalization to internal

markers and ladder.

​

The software will provide an objective measurement of RNA quality with RIN (RNA Integrity Number). Validated RIN values are available for eukaryotic, prokaryotic, and plant samples.


The Bioanalyzer RNA kits allow dependable and precise integrity checks and sample

quantitation prior to any RNA-dependent application. This ensures the data from

downstream research processes, such as gene expression microarray, qPCR, and

transcriptome sequencing, are valid and reliable.
