Description
The TapeStation software provides fast and intuitive data analysis of nucleic acid sample data from the TapeStation instrument. It offers streamlined data acquisition, analysis, and reporting for nucleic acid sample quality control (QC) and supports high-throughput workflows by automatically calculating sample concentration, sizing, and integrity.
TapeStation software offers two modes for analysis, which are peak or region-focused. The software enables customizable visualization of the results in various formats like electropherograms, gel images, and tables. In addition, it includes hardware diagnostic tools and user documentation provided within the Agilent Information Center. And, for organizations who need to meet the requirements of 21 CFR part 11, Annex 11, or similar national records, the TapeStation software security module is available.
Features - Support for the 4200 and 4150 TapeStation systems: Any of the TapeStation systems are supported for operation with the software.
- Ease of use: Intuitive data analysis capabilities allow for fast and intuitive sample analysis (concentration, size, and integrity) with different view options and analysis tools.
- High sample integrity: The DNA integrity number (DIN) and RIN-equivalent (RINe) are objective DNA and RNA quality metrics for DNA and RNA samples.
- Cell-free DNA quality determination: The %cfDNA score allows users to calculate high molecular weight nucleic acid contaminations.
- Analysis of NGS libraries: Region analysis offers fast sizing and quantification of library preparations.
- Long retention of sample quality control information: Reports can be printed or exported as PDF or Word files.
- Easy data export for exchange with LIMS systems: Multiple exportable data formats are allowed for straightforward integration into presentations, electronic lab notebooks, or a laboratory information management system (LIMS).
- Connection of up to two instruments to one laptop: Dual-instrument operation allows simultaneous acquisition of sample data with two instruments in parallel at one computer.
- System operation check: The TapeStation System Diagnostics may be used as an improved hardware diagnostic tool.
