Sage Science - "lab gear for leaders"
Sage Science is an instrumentation company developing new technologies to enable researchers to accomplish more work with less time, labor and cost.
The Pippin Prep™, an automated mini-molecular analyzer and sample prep instrument which will be available worldwide in 2010.
Pippin Prep electrophoretically analyzes and prepares concentrated samples of DNA size ranges or bands automatically.
The Company is accepting inquiries for Pippin Prep Beta now, which will come with extended warrantees and free upgrades. Please inquire if you have interest in becoming an early adopter. We are especially interested in working with Boston-area researchers as early adopters.

Advantages of Pippin Prep Platform
| Simply pipet sample DNA into cassette and pipet out the desired concentrated fraction (20-40ul in buffer) at the end of the run |
| Electrophoretic banding patterns, peaks are automatically recorded. Auto-calculation of molecular weight and concentration |
| Novel imaging system causes no UV damage to DNA |
| Runs both analytical (fast, minutes - low sample volume) and preparative cassettes (slower, up to 1 hour - high sample volume, up to 10ug) |
| Capable of separations of any common size ranges of DNA |
| Flexible software, built-in PC |
| Less expensive than traditional manual gel purification apparatus and methods |
| Saves time, labor and cost for DNA analysis and sample prep |
| Sage Science plans to also launch RNA and protein Pippin Prep products in the near future |
| Priced so that every lab can have one or more instruments |
