Advanced Analytical Fragment Analyzer

The Advanced Analytical Fragment Analyzer is capable of analyzing a variety of DNA and RNA fragments for identification. The instrument can be coupled with end-point PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for the determination pathogens such as salmonella, shigella, etc. The system is designed for laboratory analysis, and is versatile and adaptable for many matrices. The system is based on the use of capillary electrophoresis, and can analyze either 12 or 96 samples simultaneously. It can be used in a variety of applications, including end-point PCR (pathogen detection), genetic mutation screening, and as a tool to estimate the quality of genomic DNA and fragmented DNA for DNA sequencing.
