Lab901 has unveiled its Screentape R6K product designed for rapid RNA sample quality control (RNA QC).
Screentape R6K generates results in as little as one minute per sample, Lab901 said, and extends the use of the company's bench-top Tapestation instrument.
Screentape R6K is a next-generation platform for RNA QC that automatically delivers an objective quality metric for total RNA - the Screentape Degradation Value - prior to expensive and time-consuming experiments such as DNA microarray and qRT-PCR.
Lab901's Screentape platform eliminates steps such as gel reagent prep, chip priming and chip-vortexing.
Cross-priming and sample carry-over problems are eliminated as Screentape R6K uses an individual micro-gel for each sample analysis.
Lab901's Screentape device can be used more than once.
Customers are able to run as little as one sample, reserving the rest of the available channels for future experiments.
As a result, customers are no longer required to batch samples together or throw away unused portions of the consumable, which improves the RNA QC workflow and saves money.
