Application Guide - QIAxcel Advanced

QIAxcel Advanced Application Guide 10/2016 65 Bacteria, fungi and viruses show a great diversity of genotypes. There are vast numbers of biological assays designed to fingerprint this diversity, the prevalence of microbial communities or perform geno- typing of strains of interest. A wide range of applications of the QIAxcel Advanced System in microbiology research includes, but are not limited to PCR-ribotyping, plant pathogen detection, pathogen strain typing, identification and analysis of bacterial DNA fingerprints, etc. Thanks to significantly shorter run times, high resolution and multiplexing capacities, the QIAxcel Advanced is an instrument of choice to automate electrophoresis assays for microbiology applications and holds the potential to reduce costs, without compromising on sizing accuracy or sensitivity of detection.
