Condition: Used

This Agilent 4200 TapeStation (G2991B) was manufactured in 2022, is in excellent condition, and has been tested and confirmed working. Sourced from a laboratory closure, it represents a fully automated walk-away electrophoresis platform ready for NGS, biobank, and vaccine QC workflows.

Included with this instrument:
• Power adapter
• Ethernet cable
• USB cable
• TapeStation software

The Agilent 4200 TapeStation system (part number G2991B) is an established, high-throughput automated electrophoresis platform for nucleic acid sample quality control. Building on the proven ScreenTape technology, it provides fully automated, walk-away operation for the analysis of DNA and RNA samples — delivering reliable size, concentration, and integrity data for 1 to 96 samples per run.

The system integrates instrument hardware, data processing software, and ready-to-use ScreenTape consumables to deliver end-to-end sample QC within NGS, biobank, vaccine development, microarray, and qPCR workflows. Samples are handled in 2×8-tube strips or 96-well microtiter plates. Each ScreenTape device contains 16 individual prefilled lanes that eliminate cross-contamination and can be partially used and re-run, maximising flexibility and minimising cost per sample.

Key Features:
- Fully automated walk-away operation with minimal hands-on time
- Up to 96 samples per run at constant cost-per-sample
- Results in as little as 1–2 minutes per sample or less than 90 minutes for 96 samples
- Sample consumption as low as 1–2 µL, including high-sensitivity assays
- No cross-contamination: each ScreenTape lane is individual and discrete
- Proven quality metrics: RINe (RNA Integrity Number equivalent), DIN (DNA Integrity Number), %cfDNA
- Full compatibility with all Agilent DNA and RNA ScreenTape assays including genomic DNA, cell-free DNA, and RNA integrity assays
- Intuitive TapeStation software for automated assay selection, data analysis, and electropherogram/gel-image output
- Optional GLP/GMP compliance services (IQ/OQ documentation)
- Self-maintenance capability to optimise uptime and cost of ownership
