GenoSep™ Capillary Electrophoresis Systems

The Accuris™ GenoSep™ is a compact capillary electrophoresis system for high-resolution nucleic acid and protein characterization. The system combines automated capillary electrophoresis with sensitive fluorescence detection to deliver accurate fragment sizing, quantification, and quality assessment for DNA, RNA, proteins, NGS libraries, and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples.
 
 Applications

• DNA
• RNA
• Protein Characterization
• NGS Library QC
• cfDNA Analyses

GenoSep™ Separation Technology

This instrument utilizes convenient, reusable cartridges to separate nucleic acids and proteins. Each cartridge incorporates a proprietary polymer matrix and a fused silica capillary. During analysis, programmable high voltage is applied through the capillary to generate an electric field that drives the electrophoretic migration of macromolecules through the polymer matrix. Differences in electrophoretic mobility result in size-based separation, and fluorescently labeled fragments are detected as they pass the optical detection window. User-selectable voltages enable optimization of methods for different applications and fragment size ranges.

Performance

To ensure exceptional sensitivity and reproducibility, each GenoSep™ cartridge is produced under a rigorous manufacturing process, helping to enable consistent results from cartridge to cartridge. Precision high-voltage control with automated instrument operation allows the GenoSep™ system to deliver highly reproducible migration times, enabling accurate fragment sizing and reliable comparison between runs. Consistent migration profiles provide reliable assessment of sample integrity.

The GenoSep™ system also provides exceptional sensitivity, with a limit of detection as low as 2 pg. This high sensitivity is achieved through LED-induced fluorescence detection, optimized optical design, and a proprietary low-background separation matrix that minimizes background noise and enhances signal-to-noise performance.

Software

The included Windows-based GenoSep™ software allows for instrument control and data analysis. The PC software is quick to install, set up, and begin operation.

Running an assay is simple: load the samples, select the desired method, and click Run. The software automatically controls the instrument, monitors the analysis in real time, and generates electropherograms, virtual gel images, fragment sizing info, and quantitative results.

System Specifications 

Fragment Analysis Kits

GenoSep™ Fragment Analysis Kits provide a comprehensive range of cartridges for high-resolution analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Specialized DNA kits support applications including PCR product analysis, genotyping, NGS library quality control, cfDNA analysis, and characterization of large DNA fragments. RNA and protein kits enable RNA integrity assessment, mRNA and low-input RNA analysis, as well as protein sizing across a broad molecular weight range. Each GenoSep™ cartridge delivers automated fragment analysis with accurate sizing, reliable quantification, and highly reproducible performance.

GenoSep™ Fragment Analysis Kits include a ready-to-use cartridge, size marker, alignment marker, separation buffer, dilution buffer, mineral oil, two buffer tanks, and two 0.2 mL PCR strip tubes. All consumables except the cartridge are available for purchase separately. Contact us for more information.

SmartDoc™ 2.0 Imaging System

• Imaging enclosure works with all common smartphones
• System includes blue light illumination base, orange viewing cover, and orange photo filter
• Ideal for common safe stains (SmartGlow™, SYBR Green, GelGreen™, etc.)
• Visible blue light will not damage DNA
• Gel viewing and gel access for DNA band cutting
• Optional amber viewing glasses, for band excising
• Imaging enclosure can also be used on existing transilluminators

Introducing the SmartDoc™ 2.0 (Item no. E5001-SDB). This complete system has been developed for safely viewing nucleic acids in agarose gels and for capturing quality digital images with a smartphone camera.  Blue light is used instead of UV, which is safer for lab personnel and will not damage DNA samples.

The SmartDoc™ Imaging Enclosure can also be purchased separately (item no. E5000-SD) without the blue light illumination base.  The enclosure by itself can be used on most existing UV transilluminators or blue light transilluminators for smart phone imaging.

The illumination base emits an intense blue light with a peak output of 460 nm for optimum excitation of nucleic acids stained with green fluorescent dyes (SYBR® Green, SmartGlow™, GelStar™, GelGreen™, etc). The orange cover fits on top of the illumination base and acts as a filter to absorb blue light, allowing visualization of the fluorescing samples. The cover can also be set at an angle for gel access and cutting out DNA bands for further study.

The SmartDoc™ imaging enclosure includes an orange photo filter for photography of the gels with a smartphone. An extending adapter can be inserted for full dimension imaging of gels up to 15 x 15 cm or removed for close-up pictures. The enclosure can also be used directly on any other existing UV or blue light transilluminator.  Additional filters are available for imaging gels on a UV transilluminator.  Please see our “Filter and User Guide” to show which filter is best for different imaging applications.

Optional SmartBlue™ Plus Viewing Glasses

Accuris SmartBlue™ Plus Viewing Glasses offer exceptional protection for researchers working with bright blue LED and UV light illuminators. The polycarbonate filter lenses are shatter proof, scratch resistant and block light in the UV (280 nm) to blue (490 nm) wavelengths. In addition, they are compliant with ANSI Z87.1.

These glasses are ideal for general protection when working with hazardous wavelengths and for precision DNA band cutting on a UV or blue light transilluminator. While blocking hazardous UV and blue light, the glasses allow clear visualization of DNA bands stained with Ethidium Bromide, SmartGlow™, SYBR Green and other fluorescent dyes. 

*Always wear appropriate UV protection for eyes and exposed skin when working with UV light sources.
