D5000 ScreenTape Assay for TapeStation Systems
Quick Guide
The Agilent 4150 (G2992AA) and 4200 (G2991AA and G2991BA) TapeStation systems are automated platforms for
scalable, flexible, fast, and reliable electrophoresis of nucleic acids.
This Quick Guide is intended for use with the Agilent 4150 and 4200 TapeStation systems only. A Quick Guide specific
for use with the Agilent 2200 TapeStation system is available online.
The D5000 ScreenTape assay is designed for analyzing double-stranded DNA molecules from 100 to 5000 basepairs.
