The TapeStation 4150 system (Agilent) is an automated electrophoresis platform designed for the quality control of DNA and RNA samples. Compared to traditional gel electrophoresis, the TapeStation offers several key advantages:

• Minimal sample and reagent usage,
• Fast analysis,
• Simplified workflow,
• Contamination-free,
• cross-contamination or carryover,
• Flexible throughput.

The TapeStation 4150 system is widely used in genomic workflows for: 

• NGS library quality control: determining fragment size and concentration, 
• Integrity assessment of RNA and DNA: using RIN (RNA Integrity Number) or DIN (DNA Integrity Number),
• Residual DNA analysis: measuring concentration and size of residual DNA in cell-based products.
