Every HT protein production lab should have a couple!!!
HT Protein gels
Excellent system to QC protein samples by running 96 samples to 384 samples in one run. The data is extremely standardized and reliable with no lot-to-lot variability in the standard kit. Great after-sales care and follow-ups in case of any issues.

Great product but caution about chip quality
Analyze purity of molecules
GXII are great, cost effective and high throughput for protein purity analysis. But recently we have been experiencing an issue with chip quality. Chips are promised to be good for 400 samples but we never past 200 in the past few months. Hoping PerkinElmer can resolve this issue soon.

Great results but consumables quality needs some work.
MAb and vaccine protein candidates
Instrument and technology is great. Very robust and consistent good quality data. Only downside is with consumables (labchips) never reach their promised 400 samples and quite a bit of work goes into troubleshooting consumable related issues. Once they work, everything is good.

Problems, problems, problems.
Protein and DNA sizing and quantification
This instrument has been nothing but a pain since we bought it. Bad DNA chip lots, wires that somehow disconnect during runs, tons of script errors. Just replaced the laser, which did not solve the issue. Tech support is blaming the chip makers, even though the same chips worked intermittently before.

High throughput, little finicky, decent value overall.
Analyze expression variants in library screening
Throughput cant be beat. Data analysis software is dated, and slow, but gets the job done. Customer service is meh. Pretty much need to figure it out on your own, very limited technical support. With some tweaking, the instruments have been very useful, and enabled us to resolve small differences in expression, or MW between variants.

High throughput and fast.
Assessing purity of recombinant proteins
We use this instrument as an automated SDS-PAGE. The data we generate using this instrument are reproducible. The only caveat with this techniques is that the sizes don't align with the ladder. We usually use a standard protein with a known size to circumvent this issue. The instrument is easy to use, and the software is friendly. I've bee in contact with the customer service several times, and they were helpful. The consumables are not cheap but reasonable.

It is optimal for:
- Fast, high-throughput QC analysis of NGS libraries
- NGS library preparation (smear and fragment analysis) and quality control
- RNA and DNA fragment analysis (including cell-free DNA, DNA isolated from FFPE samples, and PCR-free libraries)
- Quantitation and qualification for CRISPR fragment analysis
- Screening nucleic acid source material for vaccine development
- Characterization and QC of small RNA molecules and CRISPR/Cas9 gRNA
Accurate sizing, quantification and quality control of DNA, RNA, and NGS libraries.
The LabChip® GX Touch™ nucleic acid analyzer is a comprehensive solution for genomic sizing and quantitation. It offers:
- Quantitation of DNA and RNA sample integrity hours faster than agarose gels
- Maximize rare or low-concentration samples like cfDNA, PCR-free libraries, and ChIP-seq libraries
- Accurate quantitation down to 25 pg/µL for DNA smears and 0.5 pg/µL for fragments
- NGS library prep analysis and QC
- Flexible throughput options making it a cost-efficient – 96-well or 384-well (HT) format
- Data visualization options (electropherogram, virtual gel, or tabular report)
The LabChip GX Touch nucleic acid analyzer also supports a variety of DNA and RNA analysis, which provides unparallel genomic data quality with minimal input requirements. When the concentrations are low, and samples are precious, The LabChip® DNA High Sens and RNA Pico assays are ideal choice for reliable measurement and sample preservation. With complete analysis of genomic material in about 30 seconds, the LabChip GX Touch nucleic acid analyzer eliminates the nucleic acid quantitation workflow bottleneck. High-resolution analysis provides exact sizing and quantitation of DNA fragments and smears down to 5 bp from samples as small as 2 pg/µL.
The system offers a broad variety of DNA analysis options, including the NGS 3K assay, which provides unparalleled genomic data quality with minimal input requirements. This high degree of sensitivity also makes it the ideal instrument for gDNA and PCR-free DNA quantitation, where concentrations are low, samples are precious, and their preservation is essential.
Purity and integrity analysis of mRNA-based vaccines
By using LabChip® RNA Assay, researchers at Merck developed an assay to characterize purity and integrity of mRNA vaccines. This fast, easy and efficient workflow helped speed up vaccine development and meet increased manufacturing high volume demand.
