I want to Reduce Time to Results

Reducing time to results is critical for many researchers. Time reduction can be gained in multiple ways including: 1.) sample handling; 2.) electrophoresis run times and; 3.) results analysis. The AdvanCE™ FS Nucleic Acids Analyzer reduces time spent for all three.

  • Sample handling - Loading samples onto the AdvanCE™ FS Nucleic Acids Analyzer is simple. When doing SSR analyses, the lab worker simply puts a separate marker tray onto the instrument. The tray contains upper and lower DNA markers which bracket the fragments of interest.
  • Electrophoresis run times - The AdvanCE™ FS Nucleic Acids Analyzer can do runs as fast as 30 minutes, thanks to the usage of pre-set methods and efficient gel systems. For applications that don't require high separation resolution, this translates into running up to 2x96 well plates per hour or a throughput capacity of 48 plates per day.
  • Results analysis - Our analytical software, PROSize™, reviews individual fragments quickly and efficiently. It also allows the end-user to analyze groups of fragments with the fragment flagging criteria. For example, on a 96-sample run on fragments ranging from 100 to 500 bp, you can have one identifer that flags all fragments found +/- 10 bp with a 300 base-pair peak set as the target size, while separating and identifying another group of samples ranging +/- 30 bp for the same target. In this way the software allows the reseacher to rapidly divide the data into three groups:
    • Those that fit the target criteria.
    • Those that came close to fitting the target criteria.
    • Everything else.

Additionaly, flagging criteria can be saved and applied to future runs while report generation formats can be tailored to give only desired information.

The following factors reduce time to results on the AdvanCE™ FS Nucleic Acids Analyzer:

  1. Superior instrument design utilizing a high voltage power source.
  2. Limited sample handling.
  3. Kits designed with automation in mind.
  4. PROSize™, an intuitive analytical software package that aids in results processing.
