Qubit Flex (Thermo Fischer)
![Qubit Flex](/fileadmin/_processed_/d/8/csm_Qubit_flex_IMG_7299_2000x2000_c66264b8ed.jpeg)
- Measures up to eight samples simultaneously
- Minimizes assay variability
- High sensitivity
- Used fluorescent dyes emit signals only when bound to specific targets, minimizing the effects of contaminants, including degraded DNA or RNA
- Significantly more sensitive than UV absorption
Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent)
![Bioanalyzer 2100](/fileadmin/_processed_/3/2/csm_Bioanalyzer2100_IMG_7347_2000x1500_cabb4983a3.jpeg)
- Automated electrophoresis based on microfluidics
- Greatly reduced sample (1 µL for nucleic acids) and reagent consumption
- Determination of size, quantification, integrity and purity of DNA and RNA
Fragment Analyzer 5200 (Agilent)
![Fragment Analyzer 5200](/fileadmin/_processed_/0/7/csm_Fragment_analyzer_5200_IMG_7274_2000x1500_3447af2e01.jpeg)
- Parallel automated capillary electrophoresis (12-capillary setup)
- Low sample concentration needed
- Clean results with separation resolution down to 3 bp for fragments 300 bp and less
