Used with the TapeStation, ScreenTape P200 combines gel loading, electrophoresis, imaging and analysis. Results include a gel image, electropherogram, molecular weight determination and % purity - all generated in 60 seconds per sample. There is no need to prime chips, stain / de-stain gels, image gels or annotate gel images when using the ScreenTape System. ScreenTape can run just a few samples, leaving unused lanes available for future experiments and reducing the waste commonly encountered with chip-based systems and pre-cast gels.
‘We are very excited about the launch of ScreenTape for protein analysis’ commented Richard Rowling, Lab901’s Sales & Marketing Director. ‘The combination of convenience and speed means that scientists can now move more rapidly between steps in their expression / purification workflows, saving time and money.’
‘The response from scientists expressing and purifying recombinant proteins or MAb’s has been tremendous at the BPI meeting’ said Dr. Ken Macnamara, Lab901’s Head of Science. ‘There is a real appetite for speed and automation in the BioPharma industry. Our poster, describing rapid At-line monitoring of MAb production, was very well received’ he added.
Information about the new ScreenTape P200 product is now available on the recently updated Lab901 website www.lab901.com

About the ScreenTape® System:
The ScreenTape system is the first fully automated, walk-away solution for gel electrophoresis. Customers simply load their samples and the ScreenTape consumable into the compact TapeStation instrument and, within 1 minute per sample, fully analysed results for protein, RNA and DNA samples are displayed.
