Hardware

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer G2938C is a microfluidic capillary electrophoresis platform engineered for precise nucleic acid and protein sizing, quantitation, and integrity assessment. The system integrates a high-performance LED-induced fluorescence detection module with a Peltier-controlled thermal block maintaining 4-40°C ±0.5°C, ensuring reproducible separations across 12 sample positions per run. The microfluidic chip interface accommodates 25-3000 base pair DNA fragments and 1-500 ng/µL concentration ranges with CV <10% for both sizing and quantitation. The instrument features a 32-sample carousel with automated sipper loading, reducing manual intervention and cross-contamination risk. Connectivity includes dual USB 2.0/3.0 ports for data transfer and external peripherals, alongside an RS-232 interface for legacy system integration. The unit operates on 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, with a maximum power draw of 60 VA.

Service History

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer G2938C has undergone rigorous service and maintenance with a documented history of reliability. The system was installed in a CAP-accredited clinical laboratory in Q1 2022 and has been maintained under Agilent’s recommended preventive maintenance schedule. Service records include quarterly calibration checks using NIST-traceable DNA ladders, annual Peltier module recalibration, and bi-annual optical alignment verifications. The microfluidic pump has been serviced once (Q3 2023) due to minor wear on the sipper tips, with replacement parts sourced directly from Agilent’s certified supplier. The LED excitation module has been tested annually for wavelength accuracy and intensity stability, with no deviations recorded. The system has undergone two software updates (vB.02.08 to vB.02.10) to address minor bugs in data export formatting, both performed remotely by Agilent’s technical support team.
