Experion Electrophoresis System

Experion™ Automated Electrophoresis System: A Revolution in Automated Electrophoresis

Bio-Rad's Experion™ Automated Electrophoresis System represents a major advance in the field of electrophoresis. This system integrates microfluidic technology to automate traditional gel electrophoresis processes, providing a fast, accurate and cost-effective solution for protein, RNA and DNA analysis.

The Experion stands out for its ability to produce results in less than 40 minutes, while minimising handling time and reagent consumption. Thanks to its integrated design, it combines several key steps – separation, staining, destaining, band detection and imaging – into a single, seamless operation. This automation reduces human error and ensures reproducible results, even for less experienced users.

The system is equipped with specialised microfluidic chips optimised for the analysis of proteins (10-260 kD), RNA (quantification and integrity) and DNA (15-17,000 bp). These chips, combined with high-quality reagents and proprietary standards, enable accurate sample separation and quantification. The Experion also features powerful software that simplifies data analysis, providing intuitive tools for visualising results as electropherograms or virtual gels.

In addition to its technical performance, the Experion is designed to be environmentally friendly. It reduces exposure to hazardous chemicals and minimises waste, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional electrophoresis methods.

Whether for applications in basic research, molecular biology or quality control, the Experion is a versatile and reliable tool. It integrates seamlessly with other Bio-Rad systems, such as chromatography instruments and real-time PCR platforms, offering a complete solution for modern laboratories.
