How to automate electrophoresis with
microfluidics
This comprehensive and concise technical bulletin provides an explanation of microfluidic separation technology and its application by Bio-Rad's Experion automated electrophoresis system
Bio-Rad Laboratories has published a new product guide (bulletin 5285), describing the application of microfluidics to automate gel electrophoresis Advantages of the Experion system are included in the six-page bulletin in addition to a tour of the system that includes workflow diagrams and graphics of protein analysis for drug discovery and RNA analysis

Bio-Rad Laboratories has added 18 cm IPG (immobilized pH gradient) strips to its popular ReadyStrip product line for the first dimension of 2-D gel electrophoresis
Using a combination of microfluidics and electrophoresis, Experion enables sensitive high resolution separation and data analysis of protein and RNA samples.
The system offers a number of advantages over traditional gel electrophoresis including faster results, reduced sample and reagent usage, automatic calculations, reduced hands-on time, and the elimination of the challenges, tedium, and hazardous materials that are typically associated with these applications.
By automating sample separation and analysis and freeing up a researcher's time, the integrated system expedites research goals, which leads to faster results in a wide variety of applications.
The system expands researchers' ability to produce data quickly, without compromising the quality of results.
The system may also be used as a complementary tool rather than a replacement tool to common downstream laboratory experiments that require knowledge of the quality and composition of protein or RNA samples.
