Shimadzu MCE-202 MultiNA Microchip Electrophoresis System
Description from the supplier
Introducing the Shimadzu MCE-202 MultiNA Microchip Electrophoresis System, a pre-owned yet exceptionally efficient solution for DNA/RNA sample size analysis. Designed to streamline laboratory workflows, this system offers analytical operability that rivals traditional agarose gel electrophoresis, while performing fully automatic analyses of up to 108 samples in one batch. With the utilization of specialized reagent kits—four for DNA and one for RNA—the system guarantees high-resolution and high-sensitivity results, crucial for mutation checks in genome editing and genotype determination.
Equipped with a versatile sample rack, the system supports 96-well PCR plates and 12/8-strip PCR tubes, with Shimadzu products being the recommended choice. The quartz microchip features a 23 mm separation channel length and on-chip electrodes, accommodating up to four microchips for efficient processing.
The advanced automation capabilities of the MCE-202 include automatic sample injection, separation buffer replenishment, and chip cleaning, safeguarding the integrity of each analysis. With a maximum electrophoresis voltage of 1.5 kV and current up to 250 μA, the system achieves an approximate analysis cycle time of 80 seconds when utilizing four chips for standard DNA analyses.
This system employs an LED-excited fluorescence detector with a 470 nm excitation wavelength for precise detection. The separation size range accommodates various DNA and RNA kit specifications, offering remarkable resolution and sizing accuracy, especially for samples ranging from 25 to 12,000 base pairs.
The Shimadzu MCE-202 is engineered for flexibility in sample handling, supporting both premix and on-chip mixing modes with specific sample volume requirements. It maintains accuracy across a broad quantitation range and operates with a minimum detection limit finely tailored for DNA and RNA samples.
The system's practical dimensions (415 x 545 x 508 mm) and weight (43 kg) make it well-suited for most laboratory settings, ensuring a seamless integration into your research environment. This second-hand system represents a cost-efficient opportunity for laboratories to enhance their analytical precision and throughput.
