HT RNA LabChip® GX/GXII Assay Kit
Overview
The HT RNA assay kits designed for use on the LabChip GX & GXII provides a fast and easy way to analyze RNA samples ranging in size from 100 to 6,000 nucleotides. Performing RNA sample analysis with the HT RNA assay kit saves time and money by automating steps for quantitation and integrity analysis. HT RNA provides the user with RNA concentration and ribosomal ratios as an indicator of integrity.The LabChip GX family of Electrophoresis Systems uses a single sipper microfluidic chip to aspirate RNA samples directly from 96- or 384-well plates. The microfluidics chip technology automatically mixes in an intercolating dye*, electrophoretically separates, and analyzes the RNA sample. The instrument optics detect the laser-induced fluorescent signal. System software automatically analyzes the data and determines fragment size and concentration using ladder and marker calibration standards. Digital data results are immediately available for review or reporting in virtual gel, electropherogram graph, or table summary form.
