Loading the Electrophoresis Chip into the Bioanalyzer
The Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer uses different cartridges for electrophoretic and flow
cytometric assays. For electrophoretic measurements, the electrode cartridge is required.
The electrode cartridge contains 16 electrodes that fit into the wells of DNA, RNA, and
Protein chips. Each electrode in the cartridge has an individual power supply. All
electrophoretic assays (DNA, RNA, and Protein) require an electrode cartridge. The
electrode cartridges will either have an engraved “1” at the front, or will have no
engraving at all. Cartridges with a different number are not electrode cartridges.
