QIAxcel Advanced (incl. laptop)

An automated capillary electrophoresis system from QIAGEN designed for high-resolution DNA and RNA fragment analysis. The manufacturer describes the system as processing samples in batches of 12 and capable of analyzing up to 96 samples without manual intervention, with results viewable in both gel image and electropherogram format. The package includes a control laptop preconfigured with instrument software for method setup, data acquisition, and analysis, together with QIAxcel ScreenGel software and a 1-year warranty on parts and labor. The platform delivers automated fragment separation and digital gel-like output to support workflows such as genotyping, PCR product quality control, and fragment sizing. A published application note documents the system's use for fast, sensitive analysis of the quality and quantity of total RNA and fragmented or intact cRNA, including determination of the 28S/18S rRNA ratio as a measure of RNA integrity.
