 |'''Isolation of individual bands''' 
 |Here, the pippin prep has been used to isolate individual bands (lane 1-5) of a 50bp ladder (lane L).  This isolation can be preprogrammed or based on peak position. Band isolation is useful for cloning and purification of PCR products.

 |'''Creating tight size distributions'''
 | Here the Pippin prep was used to isolate tight bands from a broad distribution. Band sizes of +/-25bp can be isolated from 1.5% agarose cassettes. Tight size selection is useful in RNAseq and small RNAseq.

 |'''How tight can the Blue Pippin go'''
 | Effect of band window on yield. To evaluate the importance of the window size on yield, we tested different sized windows on a standard Illumina library. We do notice significant decreases in yield when the window is smaller than 80bp without a comparable increase in resolution.
