The integrated electrophoresis solution is designed to simplify routine verification by eliminating gel casting and buffer preparation.
Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced the Invitrogen E-Gel Power Snap Lite Electrophoresis System, a compact, integrated platform for routine nucleic acid verification.
The system combines gel electrophoresis and imaging into a single device, allowing researchers to analyze DNA and RNA samples without manual gel casting or buffer preparation. According to the company, the workflow involves a load, run, and analyze process intended to reduce hands-on time and improve consistency in the laboratory.
“Labs need faster, simpler ways to handle routine workflows without sacrificing reliability,” says Anjali Shah, senior director and general manager, PCR, molecular biology, Thermo Fisher Scientific, in a release. “With Power Snap Lite, we’ve combined key steps into one easy-to-use system so researchers can move from sample to result more efficiently.”
The system is designed for routine and low-throughput workflows, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) verification and RNA quality assessment. It serves as a complement to the Invitrogen E-Gel Power Snap Plus system, which allows laboratories to scale from quick verification to more advanced analysis.
The system is intended for research use only and is not for use in diagnostic procedures.
