Replacement for MultiNA MCE-202?

JoeTaylor · 04-19-2016, 03:17 AM

Hi there,

We have been using the MultiNA instrument for routine gel electrophoresis studies in our laboratory for the last few years however due to a variety of issues relating to the capillary chip system we have started looking for alternatives.

I have a small amount of knowledge of other automated gel electrophoresis machines on the market - We are considering the LabChip GX Touch HT and the QIAxcel from Qiagen. Has anyone got any experience with these instruments? Limitations? Advantages?

We are after an instrument with high throughput, capable of processing 96 samples in one go within a single working day.

Please could anyone advise me and share any experiences with their preferred platform.
Many thanks!

Clearly, I am biassed, but the 4200 TapeStation from Agilent would probably do the job - depending on your needs.
