- Samples submitted for QC are assayed on the NanoDrop One Spectrophotometer and the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. The following four Agilent Chips options are available:● RNA NanoChip (12 samples) – sample >100ng/uL● RNA PicoChip (11 samples) – sample <100ng/uL ● DNA1000 Chip (12 samples) – sample > 5ng/uL
● HS DNA Chip (11 samples) – sample <5ng/uL
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, independent access to GEC instrumentation is only available to personnel located in the Biotechnology/Genetics Building.
Reservations for NanoDrop and Agilent Bioanalyzer usage is only available to clients who have been satisfactorily trained by lab personnel.
