The Molecular Resource Center (MRC) now has QIAgen’s QIAxcel. This machine supports automated fragment analysis of nucleic acids using capillary-electrophoresis. With the capability to run 12 samples at a time, this machine is both faster and cheaper than its predecessors – the Agilent Bioanalyzers. Each run costs $15.
Additionally, the MRC has revamped its digital PCR machine with QIAgen’s QIAcuity One. With minimal hands-on time, the QIAcuity One delivers multiplexed quantification for copy number variation, gene expression or editing studies, and mutation detection. This 2plex operation is available in 24-well and 96-well plates with either 8.5k or 26k well partitions. The machine is free to use, but does require purchasing of reagents.
