Capillary electrophoresis is rapidly supplanting conventional slab gel electrophoresis in moderate-to- high–throughput laboratories that desire automated separations with a simple user interface. Our data demonstrates that the CEQ 2000 DNA Analysis System from Beckman Coulter precisely sized microsatellite amplification products in the size range of 200, 300, and 400, to a standard deviation of ≤ 0.27 bases, regardless of which capillary within an array, run, gel lot, or instrument was used to separate the sample. This level of accuracy means that from experiment to experiment, accurate and reliable data will be generated.
