WHAT do you use it for? (Applications)
-
Quality control for RNA and DNA
-
Necessary before running libraries on the sequencers
HOW does it compare to the Bioanalyzer? (Technology)
-
Capable of analyzing genomic DNA (up to 60,000 bp)
-
Has comparable assays, including high sensitivity DNA 5000 and 1000, RNA, and high sensitivity RNA
-
Faster run times (approximately 1 minute per sample)
-
Lower cost
-
More flexibility (run 1 to 15 samples, price is scaled with the number of samples ordered)
-
Does NOT have a small RNA assay
-
Does NOT provide the same definition seen with the bioanalyzer
-

WHEN would you use this over the Bioanalyzer? (Advantages)
-
When you have a large number of samples
-
When you need the data quickly
-
When you have genomic DNA that needs to be analyzed
