Size (bp)

The 5200 Fragment Analyzer system provides
accurate and consistent sizing for DNA fragments
and smears. Peak size, ideal for fragments, is
automatically provided by ProSize, while the ProSize
Smear Analysis tab provides an average size for
smears based on the distribution of the sample over
the designated smear range. Sizing under 6,000 bp
is accurate and consistent across the concentration
range of the respective kits, with reliable sizing over
6,000 bp occurring with the recommended sample
concentrations. High salt concentrations in samples
minimally affect sizing, still allowing for exceptional
precision and accuracy. n

The HS NGS DNA Ladder was diluted in 200, 100, 50,
25 mM NaCl, or 1× TE Buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl) and
analyzed on the 5200 Fragment Analyzer system with
the HS NGS Ladder kit (Figure 5). Sizing accuracy
stayed within 3 % error even at the highest salt
concentration. Sizing precision at various salt
concentrations remained excellent throughout the
sizing range of the HS NGS Fragment kit as noted by
the consistently low % CV. Reliable analysis of DNA
samples is ensured with the correct salt concentration.
