Flongle - for rapid DNA/RNA sequencing tests in any environment
VideoFlongle is an adapter (flow cell dongle) for MinION or GridION that enables direct, real-time DNA or RNA sequencing on smaller, single-use flow cells. Providing access to sequence data as soon your experiment starts, Flongle is designed to be the quickest, most accessible and cost-efficient sequencing system for smaller tests and experiments.
One measurement - multiple results
VideoMeasure standards first, then measure your unknowns? Sounds time-consuming. Especially when the new Agilent Cary 3500 UV-Vis lets you do both at the same time. And with the integrated multicell holder, you will never need to do an alignment again—perfect for microvolume cuvettes.
Don't sleep in the lab for your time-course experiments
VideoWatch and find out why UCSF scientist Prof. Ernesto Diaz-Flores is confident in the results of his time-course experiments - all without staying in the lab to take time points every hour through the night.
