The LabChip GX for RNA analysis
• Provides single number rating of RNA quality that can qualify RNA samples prior to use in gene expression studies
• RQS correlates well to Agilent’s RIN
– Typically <10% deviation from RIN for the same sample run on Bioanalyzer and GX
• RQS is consistent over whole concentration range (25 to 250 ng/µL)
• RQS is consistent for RNA samples collected from a wide variety of different tissues
• RQS is consistent for RNA that may have degraded by different mechanisms
• RQS reproducibility: CV < 20% over whole concentration range and wide range of degradation
