BluePippin Size Selection
The BluePippin is a powerful automated DNA size selection system to collect DNA fragments up to 50 kb or size select proteins. It facilitates library construction for the most popular NGS platforms and is a fast and highly accurate and reproducible option over traditional gel extractions. The BluePippin works by pulsed-field electrophoresis to separates and extracts DNA fragments according to software input size ranges.
