QIAxcel Advanced System

For effortless DNA and RNA analysis

Product Details

The QIAxcel Advanced system replaces traditional, labor-intensive gel analysis of DNA and RNA by fully automating sensitive, high-resolution capillary electrophoresis of up to 96 samples per run. The QIAxcel ScreenGel software ensures convenient analysis and documentation of data. 

The QIAxcel Advanced system operates in conjunction with the QIAxcel DNA Kits and QIAxcel RNA QC Kit v2.0

An upgraded QIAxcel instrument is now available. Do quality control of NGS libraries and liquid biopsy with the high-sensitivity capabilities of the QIAxcel Connect. Learn more at www.qiagen.com/qiaxcel-connect-system

 

Software

QIAxcel ScreenGel software provides a new level of convenience

QIAxcel ScreenGel software, specifically developed for use with the QIAxcel Advanced system, is a powerful and user-friendly tool for data collection and analysis. Interactive tools simplify analysis, facilitate rapid data interpretation, and provide flexibility with data and results displayed in both electropherogram and gel image formats. Results can be viewed individually or displayed as overlay views for sample and data comparison. All-in-one analysis for multiple data sets simplifies evaluation. A unique algorithm calculates and generates a tabular display of a variety of peak properties, including number of peaks as well as the size, height, width, and area of each peak. Comprehensive data reports can be easily generated and saved or exported to meet individual documentation needs. Complete process profiles for standardized sample processing — from running samples to data analysis, generating reports and exporting data — minimize the need for additional training for users.

QIAxcel ScreenGel software includes specific features that support the technical requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 regulations. Security features such as the following are available:

  • Password-protected login to prevent unauthorized access and data manipulation
  • Audit trail documentation for configuration files and system events
  • Automatic saving and archiving of write-protected raw data
  • Secure user management

Different user profiles are available (Routine, Basic, Advanced, Admin) and are password protected (user login is required) for increased security. A simplified interface minimizes the need for user training and makes the software especially attractive for inexperienced users.

The minimum sample volume required for the QIAxcel System and QIAxcel Advanced is 10 ul to guarantee sample injection in each channel.

 

 

FAQ-1852
How often should the solutions in the Buffer Tray for the QIAxcel System or QIAxcel Advanced be replaced?

The solutions used with the QIAxcel System or QIAxcel Advanced should not have to be changed for the life of the Gel Cartridge (based on the number of runs).  However, if any contamination is suspected, the Buffer Tray should be cleaned and the buffers should be changed immediately.

FAQ-1840
What can be done if lower and upper alignment markers used with the QIAxcel System or QIAxcel Advanced are not aligned correctly?

If lower and upper alignment markers used with the QIAxcel System or QIAxcel Advanced are not aligned correctly, open the channel of the sample that was incorrectly aligned. Check whether any unexpected extra peaks have been detected or if the alignment marker peaks do have any “shoulders” that are detected as separate peaks. Delete any extra peaks if necessary and re-analyze your data.

FAQ-1834
Can the QIAxcel System or QIAxcel Advanced be connected to a network?

Yes, the QIAxcel System or QIAxcel Advanced can be connected to a local network.

FAQ-1862
Is the QIAxcel Advanced discontinued?
The QIAxcel Advanced has been discontinued as of October 2022. This follows the launch of the QIAxcel Connect instrument, the next generation of the QIAxcel technology. QIAGEN will maintain a stock and inventory of repair and spare parts for the QIAxcel Advanced including providing associated repair services until December 31, 2029. Please contact your customer care or sales representative if you have any questions about the discontinuation of QIAxcel Advanced.
FAQ-3983
How can a clogged capillary channel be identified when running samples on the QIAxcel System or QIAxcel Advanced?

If one of the capillaries of the gel cartridge for the QIAxcel System or QIAxcel Advanced is clogged, the corresponding lane in the gel-view image is typically black.
