Lab901 has shipped the first of its next-generation Screentape systems for automated RNA QC to Oxford Gene Technology (OGT), in Oxford, UK.
Screentape R6K is a next-generation platform for RNA QC that automatically delivers the Screentape Degradation Value (SDV), an objective quality metric for total RNA samples.
Lab901's Screentape platform eliminates steps such as gel reagent preparation, chip priming and chip-vortexing, and because individual micro-gels are used for each sample analysis, the platform avoids all problems associated with cross priming and sample carry-over.
Lab901's Screentape device can be used more than once.
A single sample can be run cost-effectively each time, reserving the rest of the available channels for future experiments.
It removes the need to batch samples together or throw away unused portions of the consumable, which improves the RNA QC workflow and saves money.
