Perkin Elmer Labchip GX Touch Nucleic Acid Analyzer

Labchip GX Touch simplifies various manual processes of slab gel electrophoresis, enabling faster and more accurate analysis and results in real-time than conventional gel electrophoresis. The touch screen interface of Labchip GX Touch is implemented so that even first-time users can learn it quickly and easily. In addition, the LabChip GX touch device has a constant temperature function to prevent band shift phenomena such as frowning/unhappy face shaped in advance.

The LabChip GX Touch HT provides unparalleled data quality and rapid genomic material analysis with results in as little as 30 seconds. DNA and RNA quantitation can be completed hours faster than with agarose gels using automated capillary electrophoresis separation. The microfluidic technology offers a reproducible, high-resolution alternative to time-consuming agarose gel workflows and provides exact sizing and quantitation of DNA fragments and smears down to 5 bp from samples as small as 2 pg/uL.

The LabChip GX Touch system offers various DNA analysis options, including the NGS 3K assay, which provides unparalleled genomic data quality with minimal input requirements. This high degree of sensitivity makes it the ideal instrument for gDNA, cfDNA, and PCR-Free quantitation, where concentrations are low, samples are precious, and their preservation is essential.

Electrophoresis separation is one process used for DNA and RNA sample extraction. This method uses automatic capillary techniques for the quantitation and sizing of the samples. Such techniques are useful in the rapid detection of deadly viruses and are used for several other applications. 

These methods were found helpful during the COVID-19 pandemic, as they helped rapidly detect the virus. The RT-PCR tests used to detect the novel coronavirus are generally performed using these techniques. Several systems provide this facility, out of which the Labchip GX Touch produces the best results. 

“LabChip GXII Touch is applicable across the entire biotherapeutic workflow,” Bunch continues, including analytical development and quality control. “One benefit of serving multiple areas along this workflow is continuity of methods and the transfer efficiency of a molecule across developmental boundaries as it matures to a commercial product.”  Angelo DePalma, PhD
