From the manufacturer:
The 4150 TapeStation system is an economic, low-throughput automated electrophoresis platform for nucleic acid sample quality control. Building on the success of the proven ScreenTape technology, it allows a quick, easy, and reliable analysis of DNA and RNA samples for up to 16 samples per run. This affordable, entry-level system is the ideal solution for the quality control (QC) of RNA and DNA samples in next-generation sequencing (NGS), biobank, or vaccine development workflows.
- Simplified workflow with the established, ready-to-use ScreenTape technology
- Nucleic acid analysis with excellent reproducibility for size, concentration, and integrity
- Full compatibility with all available RNA and DNA ScreenTape assays, including assays for genomic and cell-free DNA
- Easy switching between DNA and RNA ScreenTape assays for excellent application flexibility
- Full sample scalability from 1 to 16 samples with constant cost-per-sample
- Minimized time to results with as little as 1 to 2 minutes per sample or less than 20 minutes for 16 samples
- Reduced sample consumption with as little as 1 to 2 µL of DNA and RNA samples, even for high-sensitivity assays
- No risk of cross contamination with individual ScreenTape lanes
- Reliable integrity standards for RNA (RNA integrity number equivalent, RINe), genomic DNA (DNA integrity number, DIN), and cell-free DNA (%cfDNA)
- Lower bench space requirement in the laboratory with a small instrument footprint
- Optimized cost of ownership and maximized instrument uptime with the option for self-maintenance tasks
- Seamless switching to the 4200 TapeStation system, possible by complete assay compatibility
- Certified with My Green Lab’s ACT (Accountability, Consistency, Transparency) label for environmental impact
