Polymers are essential for peak separation for capillary electrophoresis during Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis processes. Unstable capillary electrophoresis can be caused by various factors, included but not limited to, a mixture of expired and non-expired polymers, different polymers being used on the instrument or polymers that were left for longer than the recommended time.
In order to combat this, NimaPrime™ Conditioning Reagent can be used to prime the polymer pump, as well as wash both the pump and channels between switching polymer types or performing routine maintenance. The overall lifetime and performance of your polymer delivery pump on your genetic analyzer can also be extended as a result!
