Agilent Lab-on-a-Chip RNA Quality Check

The Agilent Lab-on-a-Chip assay leverages microfluidics technology, enabling the quality analysis of RNA using only 1ul of sample. The assay is run on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer instrument and utilises the Agilent 2100 Expert Software to analyze and display results. An RNA Integrity Number (RIN score) is generated for each sample on a scale of 1-10 (1=lowest; 10=highest) as an indication of RNA quality. The 18s/28s ratio and an estimation of concentration is also produced.
