BIABooster Capillary
A proprietary device for injecting, concentrating, and separating DNA
A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR PROFILING cfDNA
The BIABooster is a plug-in for commercial Capillary Electrophoresis Instruments. It works with µLAS technology, in which applying simultaneously hydrodynamic and electric fields in a viscoelastic buffer generates a stable on-line concentration of DNA at the junction between two capillaries of different diameters. After concentration, a progressive change in hydrodynamic and electric fields results in size separation. Separated DNA peaks are detected by laser induced fluorescence.
Up to 1 µl of sample is injected in the device, to be compared to a few nanoliters injected in an usual capillary or microchip electrophoresis. This allows the analysis of very diluted DNA samples, invisible in electrophoresis techniques.
