QIAxcel Connect capillary electrophoresis instrument

Who says you can’t have it all?

Capillary electrophoresis instruments often force you to choose: Easy to use but with limited resolution? Or many analysis options but hard to use?

Wouldn’t it be great if you could have it all? Something that is …

Easy and convenient to use
Able to handle all your DNA and RNA applications
Cost efficient, to top it all off (because why not?)

You can have all these and more with the QIAxcel Connect capillary electrophoresis instrument.

Ease and convenience

Here’s how to use your QIAxcel Connect:

Insert your samples and gel cartridge into the intrument. No need to prepare your gel – just insert the cartridge. (How many samples can you process with that cartridge? Find out below.)
Select your analysis protocol. What do you want to analyze? Which kit are you using? Tell your instrument what you want, then let it do its job.
See your results in real time. Or step out and just wait for your QIAsphere app to call you back once your results are ready. (What is QIAsphere? Find out here.)

Cost efficiency

With a single QIAxcel gel cartridge, you can process up to 3000 samples, depending on which kit you are using. What if you don’t have that many samples? Just put your gel cartridge back in the fridge and use it when needed. It will stay good for weeks, and you avoid wastage.

By the way, have we mentioned that the QIAxcel Connect can process up to 96 samples without manual intervention, so you can do more tasks without spending more time in the lab?

Conserve your materials, time and energy. Now THAT is cost efficient.
