QIAxcel Advanced Application Guide 10/2016 19 Nucleic acid gel electrophoresis is a broadly used technique in all fields of basic life science research. The flexibility and versatility of the QIAxcel allows researchers to streamline and accelerate their molecular biology experiments. The sensitivity and resolution of capillary electrophoresis offers an excellent alternative to long or complex slab gel setup. A wide range of applications in basic research involving microsatellite analysis, mapping mutant genes, linkage analysis, and genotyping transgenes by PCR are all powerful molecular approaches for screening organisms and their genetic profiles. The QIAxcel Advanced provides precise and reliable results to accelerate these analyses and the research projects they are part of.
