We might want to use this equipment to establish the quality or size of RNA extracted from a plant or microbe, for example, or for determining how well sample preparation has gone for next generation sequencing.

The number of samples analysed is flexible between 2 to 96, loaded in tube strips or 96 well plates. DNA or RNA fragments are separated out on a pre-cast mini electrophoresis system, known as a screentape. There is very little sample preparation required and the system loads, separates and analyses samples in run times of 1-2 minutes per sample. Results are shown in the form of a graph or high quality gel image. This rapid analysis is a huge advantage in many lab processes, enabling workflows to proceed much faster and with greater sensitivity or accuracy than other more manual techniques.
The 2200 TapeStation is used extensively within a range of processes, e.g. DNA and RNA library preparation or checking RNA sample integrity following extraction or after mRNA isolation.

We have an extensive range of raw materials characterisation equipment, see below.
Raw materials characterisation
Analytical equipment
We have a variety of analytical equipment available at the centre.
Benchtop NMR analyser
The Benchtop NMR Analyser is based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and allows for fast, accurate, reproducible and solvent-free measurement of oil, fat and moisture in oil seeds, seed cake and foodstuffs.
Gas chromatography
Gas chromatography (GC) is a flexible technique that allows separation and quantification of chemical substances found within a complex mixture.
High performance liquid chromatography
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a flexible technique that allows separation and quantification of chemical substances found within a complex mixture.
Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS)
The Agilent 7700x ICP-MS is capable of measuring metal and non-metal elements in concentrations of parts per trillion.
Molecular analysis facilities
We have established a set of molecular analysis labs to enable a variety of genetic analysis applications to be carried out.
Microbiology facilities
Our microbiology laboratory offers a range of equipment allowing users to safely handle, store and work with a variety of aerobic and anaerobic microbes, at ACDP hazard category II level.
Oxidative stability analyser
The Metrohm Rancimat helps us determine the oxidation stability of natural fats and oils. The instrument works on the principle of passing air through a test sample at an elevated temperature, causing accelerated aging of the sample.
Water / liquid sample analysis
The Hache spectrophotometer offers a safe, easy and versatile system to measure various characteristics of liquid samples.
Let's work together
We have worked on 1,500 bio-based projects to date
We have several ways to work with us, including business advisory programmes and self-funded commercial options. We even have the option for you to hire our state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and office space.
