Nucleic acid protein analyzer

MultiNA is a new automatic analysis platform to make up for the shortage of agarose gel electrophoresis, which can simply and quickly detect the presence and size of DNA/RNA.
In addition, using the analysis options tool Shimadzu Auto Finder, specific sizes of DNA can also be automatically identified.

Main purpose
Allergen detection (using analysis options tools for data analysis)
Analysis of genetic factors related to food poisoning
• Detection of genetic factors in mold and yeast
• Distinguishing varieties and meat types
• Genotyping (plants, animals, fish, microorganisms, etc.)
• Hygiene inspection (detection of PCR and RT-PCR products)
• Detection of genetic factors of pathogens such as infectious diseases
(Multi project simultaneous pathogen genetic factor detection system)

Characteristics of MultiNA

• Make up for the shortage of agarose gel electrophoresis Compared with agarose gel electrophoresis, the integrated Shimadzu microchip technology and automatic analysis technology can conduct cheaper, faster, more sensitive and high-precision analysis.
• Reduce analysis costs The microchip can be repeatedly used for many times, thus realizing the analysis cost equal to or lower than that of agarose gel electrophoresis.
Up to 120 analyses (108 samples) * 1 fully automated analysis By simply setting up the sample or separation buffer, unmanned automatic analysis can be performed up to 120 times. Up to 4 sets of chip devices can be set up to achieve a processing speed of up to 80 seconds * 2 per analysis through parallel processing analysis preprocessing and electrophoresis analysis. Equipped with two types: standard 96 hole and continuous analysis 12 hole.
*For analyzing progress, the maximum number of analyses is 120. This device can set up to 108 samples (96+additional 12). *The speed of 2DNA standard analysis (DNA-1000 kit/premix) using 4 sets of chips. But it does not include the time for initial cleaning, later cleaning, and preliminary analysis.
• High sensitivity detection Equipped with an LED excitation fluorescence detector, it has a sensitivity of about 10 times higher than that of ethidium bromide staining.
• High separation performance and repeatability Choose the optimal separation buffer for the sample. High separation performance and reproducibility are achieved through co electrophoresis with internal markers.
