MultiNA II MCE-301

Genome Editing

Functionality for grouping analysis and molar concentration ratio analysis enables powerful support for screening genome-edited samples.

Detection of Deletion Mutations Induced by Genome Editing Tools

The availability of genome editing tools has enabled genetic modification of biological organisms. Consequently, research activity involving genome editing has expanded rapidly. Heteroduplex mobility assaying is a quick, easy, and inexpensive method for evaluating the introduction of mutations. Since electrophoresis of heteroduplex DNA tends to involve slower mobility, it can be used to determine the presence/absence of mutations and the genotype.。

 

Analytical Intelligence is a new concept for analytical devices offered by Shimadzu. It ensures systems and software are operated just like an experienced expert would, by automatically determining whether the system status and results are acceptable or not and by providing feedback to users and resolving problems. It also ensures data reliability by compensating for any differences between user instrument knowledge or experience levels.

NGS

With the high-sensitivity kit, smear analysis functionality, and RNA integr

NGS Library Quality Control

In order to obtain good results from next-generation sequencers (NGS), the distribution and concentration of sizes in the NGS library must be properly understood. The smear analysis functionality can be used to calculate the average size and concentration values. Used in combination with a high-sensitivity kit, library data can be evaluated for concentrations down to 5 pg/µL.

 

Genotyping

DNA fingerprinting functionality makes it easy to identify genotypes.

Determining the Type of Meat Products

If it is difficult to identify the type of meat based on its appearance and texture, then it can be helpful to determine the type genetically. For example, depending on the freshness and processing status of meat, it may be difficult to identify the type of meat, but by using PCR analysis in combination with restriction enzyme treatment, the type of meat can be determined with high accuracy.

 

ECO Functions, Energy Savings

MultiNA II models achieve 30 % lower power consumption than previous models. In addition, the size is 27 % shorter than previous models, making it suitable even for confined laboratory spaces. Finally, it consumes over 40 % less purified water for rinsing, which helps reduce the volume of liquid waste and its environmental impact.

Comparison of Power Consumption by MultiNA II and Previous Model

Energy Savings Achieved

Power consumption was reduced to 70 % of the previous model. That not only reduces running costs during analysis, but also contributes to achieving a carbon-free society by reducing CO₂ emissions.

Purified Water Consumption by MultiNA II Compared to Previous Model

Water Savings

The purified water consumption for rinsing was reduced to less than 60 % of the previous model, which helps reduce the volume of liquid waste and its environmental impact.

 

Requires Less Space

The MultiNA II has a 15 % smaller footprint and is 27 % shorter than the previous model (with the front door open). That makes it easier to install and requires less laboratory space.
