The TapeStation system allows for automated electrophoresis of most DNA and RNA samples. Typical applications include quality control (QC) of NGS libraries and RNA extractions (ie. RIN). This method excels in the determination of fragment length distribution of nucleic acid samples, but is not typically relied on for accurate quantification. The TapeStation can be used in place of the BioAnalyzer for most applications, but cannot currently be used for small/micro RNA analysis.
Service includes Standard and High Sensitivity assays for RNA, DNA >1kb, and DNA >5kb, as well as a Standard gDNA assay.
