Agilent Advanced Analytical ZAG DNA Analyzer System Unit 2 for High-Throughput DNA Fragment Analysis

The Agilent Advanced Analytical ZAG DNA Analyzer System Unit 2 is a specialized capillary electrophoresis instrument designed for automated, high-throughput DNA fragment analysis. Equipped with a 96-capillary array, it supports processing up to 864 samples unattended and delivers fast separation of 96 samples within 20 minutes, making it suitable for demanding molecular biology and biotechnology workflows including PCR fragment sizing, microsatellite analysis, and restriction digest fragment sizing.

Key technical features include:

• Sample capacity: 9 trays × 96-well semi or non-skirted PCR microplates for markers and samples
• Minimum sample volume: 20 µL per injection
• Sizing range: 35 base pairs (bp) to 20,000 bp using various DNA analysis kits
• Sizing accuracy: Typically ±5%
• Resolution: As low as 3 bp, depending on gel matrix used
• Detection sensitivity: Down to 5 pg/µL DNA fragments
• Maximum throughput: Approximately 4,600 samples per day, optimized for bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics applications
• Includes ProSize data analysis software and system controller software for precise data acquisition and interpretation critical for research in synthetic biology, gene editing validation, and biomanufacturing quality control.

The system comes with essential consumables and accessories such as the 96-array capillary cartridge (consumable with 1-year or 1000 injection lifespan), reagent bottles, waste containers, and compatible microplate holders. Designed for robust and reproducible nucleic acid sizing, it integrates seamlessly into research and clinical diagnostic laboratories focused on biotechnology, molecular cloning workflows, and biomedical engineering.

The instrument undergoes comprehensive in-house servicing including calibration of pump, pressurization, high-voltage systems, optical alignment, and functional testing to ensure reliable performance. The compact footprint maximizes benchtop efficiency while allowing unattended operation, essential for high-throughput DNA analysis applications in academic, pharmaceutical, and biopharma production pipelines.

This unit is backed by a 120-day continental US warranty and 60-day international warranty, with options for remote instrument setup and training. Shipping is insured and carefully packed for safe delivery worldwide, including air freight options for timely biotechnological research deployments.

Overall, the Agilent ZAG DNA Analyzer System is a critical instrument for laboratories engaged in molecular diagnostics, gene fragment sizing, and synthetic biology research, widely adopted for its speed, throughput, and precise electrophoretic separation of DNA samples.
