SCIEX P/ACE MDQ Plus capillary electrophoresis system

Click2Contact

The P/ACE MDQ Plus is an automated, programmable capillary electrophoresis (CE) system designed to perform fast separations from complex samples. Separations occur in a capillary that is housed in an interchangeable cartridge with circulating liquid coolant for efficient temperature control. This finely regulated temperature control allows the use of high ionic strength buffers and large-bore capillaries necessary for analysing difficult samples. With CE, users should find methods fast to develop, easy to validate and less expensive to run.

The system offers high run-to-run reproducibility, with a liquid-cooled capillary array and robust sample injection control. It is suitable for automation of protein, DNA and RNA gels with a built-in high-pressure gel pump; this saves lab space, as there is no need for an external gas supply.

The product is designed to offer maximum flexibility of analysis with modular and integrated detectors, including photodiode array (PDA) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detectors. There is also maximum flexibility in sample format, with the ability to inject samples from either 96-well plates or vials.

Samples can be kept stable with built-in cooling, independent from buffer temperature; this saves lab space as there is no need for an external water bath. Direct injection is available from sample volumes as low as 5 μL using nanovials.

Pre- and post-sales application support is provided by the SCIEX global application team. The system can also be upgraded with an optional second detector: a laser module and LIF detector upgrade kit (488 nm, SGL COLOR) for the P/ACE MDQ Plus.
