Caliper Life Sciences has introduced the Labchip XT, an automated nucleic-acid fractionation instrument.
The solution is designed to remove a key bottleneck in the current workflow for next-generation sequencing by replacing the gel-isolation and purification steps used for size selection of sheared genomic DNA.
The Labchip XT and its integrated software utilise a multi-channel microfluidic chip to quickly process samples independently and without the potential for cross contamination.
