The Pippin Prep facilitates library construction for the most popular NGS platforms, and is recommended by Illumina and Ion Torrent for certain workflows. The platform features the ability to collect narrow and even fragment distributions, as well as the flexibility to collect wide ranges of fragments with minimal effort.
Target sizes or ranges of sizes are entered in software, and fractions are collected in buffer. Up to 5 samples per gel cassette may be run, with no possibility of cross contamination.

Key Downstream Technologies:
Gel cassettes for DNA selections are available in four agarose concentrations to provide a full range of size selection options between 90bp and 1.5kb, with limited capability up to 8 kb. For smaller fragment sizes, internal standards may be used for higher accuracy and increased sample capacity (from 4 to 5 samples per cassette). Run times are as little as 30 minutes.

The Pippin Prep instrument includes a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. A CPU is built in; an external PC is not required.
