Agilent™ 4150 TapeStation System

Automated, Low-Throughput DNA and RNA Quality Control for NGS and Biobank Workflows

The Agilent 4150 TapeStation system is an affordable, automated electrophoresis platform designed for quick, precise DNA and RNA sample quality control in low-throughput laboratories. This compact benchtop solution offers seamless nucleic acid analysis using ScreenTape™ technology, supporting up to 16 samples per run with minimal hands-on time and consistent performance across a wide range of applications including next-generation sequencing (NGS), biobanking, and vaccine development workflows.

Key Features

• Flexible Sample Throughput: Analyze from 1 to 16 samples per run with constant cost-per-sample and no batch size constraints.
• Fast Turnaround Time: Achieve results in 1–2 minutes per sample, completing 16 samples in under 20 minutes.
• Minimal Sample Use: Requires only 1–2 µL of DNA or RNA per sample, ideal for precious or low-volume materials.
• Cross-Contamination-Free: Each ScreenTape lane is individual and disposable, eliminating risk of carryover.
• Comprehensive QC Metrics: Includes RINe (RNA Integrity Number equivalent), DIN (DNA Integrity Number), and %cfDNA for reliable sample assessment.
• High Compatibility: Supports all Agilent DNA and RNA ScreenTape assays, including for genomic DNA, cell-free DNA, and RNA.
• Compact Design: Small footprint (254 × 510 × 417 mm) saves valuable lab bench space.
• Eco-Conscious: Certified with My Green Lab’s ACT Label, promoting sustainable lab practices.
• Seamless Upgrade Path: Fully compatible with Agilent 4200 TapeStation, enabling workflow scalability.
