Use of a Pen-Shaped Capillary Gel Electrophoresis Cartridge for Cost-Effective DNA Fragment Analysis
Most laboratories currently utilize slab-gel electrophoresis systems for DNA and protein analysis. However, both polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and agarose slab-gel electrophoresis methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive and therefore need to be improved in terms of resolving power, throughput, and cost per analysis. Capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) has been recognized as a high-performance and automated approach that addresses the shortcomings of slab-gel electrophoresis by offering fast separations with high sensitivity, excellent resolution, ruggedness, and ease of operation.1
