Overview of the System
The Agilent 2200 TapeStation system is a revolutionary automated
platform for simpler, faster and more reliable electrophoresis. It is made
up of three elements: a consumable tape (ScreenTape device), an
instrument (the 2200 TapeStation instrument), and an Agilent Software
package (2200 TapeStation Controller Software, and Agilent TapeStation
Analysis Software). The system is very straightforward to use, simply
place the sample tubes and ScreenTape device in to the 2200 TapeStation
instrument and let it load, separate, image, analyze, and present the
results.
