Answer

 

This Information Applies To: 2100 Bioanalyzer, Bioanalyzer chips

Issue:

Can 2100 Bioanalyzer assay chips and reagents be interchanged?

Resolution:

Some assay chips can be used with multiple assays, however some cannot because the chip layout and assay script are different.

 Caution 
Caution: Agilent does not guarantee the proper performance of runs when chips and reagents are interchanged inappropriately.
