Conclusions • The sharp banding patterns achieved with the QIAxcel capillary electrophoresis system simplified and accelerated the routine sizing of wild type and mutant DNA fragments. Due to the accurate sizing of DNA fragments compared to conventional agarose gel electrophoresis (data not shown), the QIAxcel system enabled unambiguous size estimation in significantly shorter time. • Up to 96 samples can be analyzed in a single run without manual intervention using the QIAxcel system. In addition, the QIAxcel system provides more information from CAPS analyses than traditional methods, saving time and effort. Controlled running conditions and automated data acquisition ensure data safety, reliability, and reproducibility. • QIAxcel capillary electrophoresis uses only minute quantities of DNA for electrokinetic injection, allowing the samples to be used for downstream procedures, such as sequencing or cloning.
