==DNA==
The BioAnalyzer analyzes DNA using the same principles as slab agarose gels.  A very small tube of gel is created and a fraction of the DNA loaded, along with a low and high size marker, and are placed at one end of the chip. Then, using a voltage gradient, the sample is run down the length of the chip. As the DNA passes a laser, it is detected. Subsequent samples are run down the same lane of the chip. Quantification is performed relative to the sizing standards. Only 1 uL of sample is required.  The high sensitivity assay is preferred, and samples are diluted to within range unless otherwise requested.

There are four different options for DNA arrays:
* DNA 1000 Kit: 25bp -  1,000bp, 0.1-50ng/uL     
* DNA 7500 Kit: 100bp -  7,500bp, 0.1-50ng/uL
* DNA 12000 Kit: 100bp - 12,000bp, 0.1-50ng/ul
* High Sensitivity DNA kit: 50bp - 7,000bp, 5-500pg/ul

The BioMicro Center keeps only the High Sensitivity DNA kit in stock.
