LabChip® GX

Overview


Quick and accurate analysis of RNA and DNA samples

•  Complete assessment of RNA quality for better gene expression data
•  Exact sizing and quantitation of DNA fragments
•  Extreme accuracy with resolution down to 5 bp and sensitivity of 0.1ng/ul
•  Flexible with 96 and 384 well compatibility
•  Comprehensive and quantitative analysis with LabChip GX software

The LabChip GX is the most accurate and advanced nucleic acid separations system available.  Like its predecessor the LabChip90, the GX suite of instruments utilizes Caliper’s innovative microfluidics technology to perform reproducible, high-resolution, eletrophoretic separations.  Whether analyzing RNA integrity for better gene expression data or assessing PCR fragments for resequencing applications, the LabChip GX instrument accelerates your research and helps you generate more meaningful data, faster. 

When speed, accuracy and ease-of-use are paramount, the LabChip GX is the perfect solution.  With sample acquisition time less than a minute the instrument can thoroughly analyze 96 samples in less than an hour, virtually eliminating throughput bottlenecks and improving efficiency.  In addition to the instrument, the complete system also includes the LabChip GX software for data analysis.  This advanced data management suite allows users to visualize results via an electropherogram or virtual gel view.  Additionally it provides data in tabular form, which can then be analyzed or easily exported into a spreadsheet format.
