 Applications  

Why Researchers Choose PANDA Mini

1. Drug Research: Automated RNA Normalization

Key Challenge

RNA samples from different tissues often show large concentration variations, requiring repeated manual dilution and calculation before downstream RT-qPCR analysis. Manual normalization is labor-intensive and can introduce pipetting errors and sample-to-sample variability.

Our Solution

By combining EAGLE fluorescence quantification with precise liquid handling, PANDA MINI automatically calculates and adjusts sample volumes to achieve standardized RNA concentrations.

Key Benefits

• High Throughput— Normalize up to 96 RNA samples per run 

• High Precision— Dilution accuracy CV < 10% for consistent normalization. 

• RNA Protection— Minimal hands-on time, reduced degradation risk

• Standardized Inputs— Consistent RNA concentration for reliable RT-qPCR evaluation

  
  

2. NGS Workflow: Automated Normalization & Pooling

Key Challenge

Although extraction and library preparation have become increasingly automated, library normalization and pooling remain highly manual and time-consuming steps. Inaccurate balancing of libraries can lead to uneven sequencing output and inefficient data utilization.

Our Solution

Through automated quantification-guided normalization and precise pooling, PANDA MINI ensures balanced library input before sequencing.

Key Benefits

• Complete the NGS Workflow— Automate the completing normalization and pooling steps

• Accurate Library Balancing— Achieve consistent library concentration and pooling ratio

• Improved Sequencing Efficiency— Reduce variation caused by manual preparation

3. PCR & qPCR Setup Automation

Key Challenge

PCR and qPCR workflows require multiple repetitive pipetting steps, including dilution preparation, reagent dispensing, master mix addition, and sample transfer. Manual operation increases workload and the risk of experimental errors.

Our Solution

With precise multi-channel pipetting and flexible workflow configuration, PANDA MINI standardizes reaction setup and reduces manual intervention.

Key Benefits

• Error Reduction— Minimize manual pipetting mistakes

• Consistent Reaction Setup— Ensure accurate reagent distribution across wells

• Integrated Solution— PANDA MINI is supported by dedicated reagent solutions to provide a complete and optimized qPCR setup workflow.
