Application of the Experion Automated Electrophoresis System DNA Assays to VNTR Analysis , SNP Typing and Bacterial 16S Rna Gene Analysis

The Experion automate electrophoresis system is a micro-fluids based system that can be applied to high-speed analysis of DNA fragments. This automated platform for nucleic acid and protein analysis incorporates LabChip technology into an integrated system that performs multiple electrophoresis steps in one. In this report, performance of the Experion system is evaluated in terms of reproducibility and detection limit for DNA fragments.
