5300 Fragment Analyzer System

The 5300 Fragment Analyzer system is a capillary electrophoresis instrument that can separate up to 48 or 96 samples in parallel. This system is designed to improve lab efficiency and workflow allowing you to automate the analysis of large numbers of samples and focus on results.

The 5300 Fragment Analyzer system performs DNA QC and RNA QC for a broad range of samples including, gDNA, small RNA, cfDNA, large DNA fragments, and total RNA. The diversity of sample types these systems can separate make these instruments ideal for individualized workflows, including NGS library QC and CRISPR workflows.

Features

  • Separate 48 or 96 samples in parallel with a single simple dilution step and easy instrument set up

How It Works

Flexibility

The broad range of kits available for the 5300 Fragment Analyzer system allow you to qualify and quantify DNA and RNA samples such as plasmids, genomic DNA, total RNA, small RNA, CRISPR edits, large DNA fragments, and much more. The quantitative kits provide measurements of both sample size (bp or nt) and concentration. Similarly, the qualitative DNA kits offer accurate sizing and provide relative quantification.

Accessibility

In busy laboratories, instrument accessibility is critical to reducing time to results. The 5300 Fragment Analyzer system can hold up to three, 96-well plates and process the plates in any order. This unprecedented capability allows for samples to be held on the instrument while awaiting separation. if needed, high-priority samples can be moved to the front of the line. Data files can then be saved to a networked computer for easy post-separation access.

Versatility

With the unique ability to house two different gel matrices, the 5300 Fragment Analyzer system can run not only more samples, but also different types of samples, unattended. The operational software automates the gel switching and filling between different applications, eliminating unnecessary wait times.

applications

NGS library QC with the 5300 Fragment Analyzer system

Next generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation is a critical step for obtaining high quality sequence data. The 5300 Fragment Analyzer system with its broad kit portfolio for nucleic acid samples offers the objective quality assessment to ensure that the NGS workflow starts withhigh quality input nucleic acid samples. The objective DNA and RNA quality control (QC) can be achieved by using automated parallel capillary electrophoresis.

Automated fragment analysis with the 5300 Fragment Analyzer system

The Agilent 5300 Fragment Analyzer is a powerful system for automated fragment analysis, with high flexibility in sample throughput and application types. The 48 or 96 parallel automated electrophoresis can decrease analysis time and generate reliable and reproducible research data for your DNA and RNA workflows.
