What is ARMEN?
It stands for an
"Apparatus for Real-time Monitoring Electrophoresis of Nucleic-acids".
-
What can ARMEN system
be used for?
Electrophoresis is a very popular technique for analyzing nucleic-acids
(DNA/RNA), and proteins in the fields of biomedicine and biotechnology.
DNA recombination or gene construction and recovering and purifying DNA
fragments from electrophoretic separated gel plates are routine
laboratory procedures.
Usually, isolating and purifying DNA fragments from the gel involves a
complex set of procedures including the steps of gel electrophoresis,
cutting gels containing DNA samples, and isolation with a consumable kit.
With conventional techniques for separation and isolation of DNA/RNA,
the operating processes cannot be monitored during analyses. With the
Viagene ARMEN system, presented here, the entire
separation and purification process can be monitored in real-time, data
can be recorded any time during analysis, and any problems with the
operation can be found at a very early stage, thus reducing costs and
costly delays before it is determined that the assay needs to be re-run
under different conditions or can be terminated after a much shorter
time.

Preliminary
design drawn by an artist is as shown, not the
actual prototype. Actual
product may look different. |
-
How will I benefit from switching to
this system?
-
Dramatic reduction of analysis time for
protein/protein interaction, nucleic acid hybridization or
interaction of protein & nucleic acids.
-
Real-time monitoring electrophoretic process.
-
Recording experimental result any time during
electrophoresis.
-
Dramatic
reduction of materials use in the experiments.
-
Simplifying the procedure for identifying the
targeting proteins or nucleic acids.
-
Using the same apparatus for protein/protein
interaction, nucleic acid hybridization or protein/nucleic-acid
interaction.
-
Eliminating the use of radioisotopes in all of
these types of experiments.
-
Dramatic reduction in the cost for the analysis
