Agarose slab gel electrophoresis has long been the typical method used for the analysis of DNA and RNA. Although well established, it is time consuming, labor intensive and only semi-quantitative at best. Capillary gel electrophoresis offers an automated approach to nucleic acid analysis with on-line detection that is fully quantitative, extending the analytical capabilities of electrophoresis. Gels exist as polymers in solution, allowing the user an environment which can easily be optimized. Polymers in solution also allow for an automated mechanism of gel loading and gel replacement. Beckman Coulter offers the following nucleic acid kits useful for the routine analysis of oligonucleotides, viral load determination, gene expression and the quantitative analysis of DNA-protein interactions through mobility-shift assays.

 

eCAP™ ssDNA 100-R Kit 

eCAP™ ssDNA 100-R Kit

The eCAP ssDNA Kit is designed for the analysis of oligonucleotides, providing a direct quantitative tool for quality control. This chemistry utilizes linear polyacrylamide in solution to form a sieving gel, which provides single base resolution of oligonucleotides between 10 and 100 bases. The neutral capillary provided with the kit has a stable, physically bonded polyacrylamide coating, which eliminates electroosmotic flow (EOF) and suppresses interactions of the sample with the capillary wall. This chemistry utilizes a standard Tris-Borate EDTA buffer system including high concentrations of urea to prevent secondary structure formation. Applications of this kit have included DNA and RNA probes, ribozymes and anti-sense phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. The system is compatible with both UV and LIF detection systems to include the assessment of fluorescent labels.

Kit includes coated capillaries (2), replaceable gel, and standards to perform at least 70 runs. Urea denaturant is included separately, enabling a naturing replaceable gel, if so desired.

eCAP dsDNA 1000 Kit 

eCAP dsDNA 1000 Kit

The eCAP dsDNA 1000 Kit is designed for the analysis of double-stranded DNA fragments from 72 to 1000 base-pairs. This chemistry utilizes linear polyacrylamide in solution to form a sieving gel. A neutral capillary provided with this kit has a stable, physically bonded polyacrylamide coating which eliminates electroosmotic flow (EOF) and suppresses interactions of the sample with the capillary wall. This chemistry utilizes a standard Tris-Borate EDTA buffer system and allows the addition of intercalating dyes like ethidium bromide or our proprietary EnhanCE™ to improve resolution and increase sensitivity. This kit is ideal for the analysis of PCR* products which can be analyzed directly with no sample clean-up. Applications of this kit have included gene expression analysis (competitive PCR), direct hybridization viral load determination (no amplification) and genotyping experiments with RFLPs, STRs and AmFLPs. The system is compatible with both UV and LIF detection, but LIF is recommended for most applications.

Kit includes: (2) 100 µm I.D. neutral capillaries (DNA), (3) vials of replaceable polyacrylamide gel, (1) test mix consisting of Hae III restriction digest f174 DNA containing 11 fragments from 72 bp to 1,353 bp, and instructions and methods for system set-up and analysis. For LIF applications, we recommend the use of the intercalating dye EnhanCE.

eCAP dsDNA 20,000 Kit

The eCAP dsDNA 20,000 Kit is designed for the analysis of double-stranded DNA fragments from 1,000 to 20,000 base-pairs. This chemistry utilizes linear polyacrylamide in solution to form a sieving gel. A neutral capillary provided with this kit has a stable, physically bonded polyacrylamide coating which eliminates electroosmotic flow (EOF) and suppresses interactions of the sample with the capillary wall. This chemistry utilizes a standard Tris-Borate EDTA buffer system and allows the addition of intercalating dyes like ethidium bromide or our proprietary EnhanCE, to improve resolution and increase sensitivity. This kit is ideal for the analysis of large PCR* products or plasmids and plasmid digests which can be analyzed directly with no sample clean-up. The system is compatible with both UV and LIF detection.
