The LightBench® Discover is versatile 3-in-1 instrument delivering automated gel electrophoresis for DNA Size Selection, Large Fragment Analytics (>150 kb) and Fluorometric Quantification applications, all in one compact footprint.
The LightBench® Discover, powered by Ranger® Technology, uses pulsed field inversion technology to resolve large DNA, allowing fragment length analysis of DNA up to 150 kb in less than 2 hours. The inbuilt camera enables real time imaging allowing the electrophoresis progress to be monitored live and parameters can be adjusted mid run without losing precious sample. Delivering consistent results with reliable sensitivity, reproducibility and high accuracy every run.

The LightBench® Discover Ranger Analytics software provides mass-based and molarity-based quality control metrics, including average fragment size, sample purity and sample quality, to ensure accurate analysis and reliable results. The new Sample Quality Number (SQN) is used to assess DNA quality.
The software has two pre-loaded software protocols for large fragment analysis which enable quick and easy set-up. The 3 to 75 kb protocol is ideal for PacBio users and the 20 to 150 kb protocol is ideal for resolving very large DNA.

To compliment the LightBench® Discover we have a range of new consumables. The new kits are comprised of a 0.5% agarose gel cassette, which facilitates larger DNA fragments to move through the gel and enables 20 samples to be analysed in one run. The Dual Dye Loading Buffer (DDLB) has an orange dye to aid usability, and the robust large fragment analytics DNA ladder is comprised of DNA bands ranging from 3 to 50 kb. These kits have a 12-month shelf life from date of manufacture.
The LightBench® Discover can also perform a plate-based fluorometric assay to accurately determine the concentration of DNA samples. This quantification data integrates with sizing data from fragment length analysis, and is used, for example, to ensure optimum molar dilution of samples prior to sequencing.
