Bioanalyzer issues

Can anybody help with the reason for these results?
The ladder and the standards are not identified. and it looks as if the standards are shifted on the gel pic.

Actually this can be tricky. For some reason your ladder signal strength is low. So I think you need to do the following:

On your ladder sample page in the 2100 Expert software (which you show an image of), click on the drop-down menu in the right-hand pane labeled "Local", change it from Normal, to Advanced. A bunch of additional parameters are now visible:



See the one I have circled in red? "Height Threshold"? Set that to 5 or 10 or so. Then the software should "see" the ladder peaks and correctly label them. If not you will need to tinker around with the parameters until it recognizes those peaks. You may also have to force it to call the correct peaks the "upper" and "lower" marker peaks, by right clicking on them in the "Peak Table" and choosing the appropriate context menu option.
