From Blood with Magnetic Beads
The isolation of DNA using conventional methods is increasingly proving to be a limiting and time-consuming factor for research, medical, forensic and veterinary applications. HAMILTON has combined its expertise in automated liquid handling with AGOWA's® strength in magnetic bead technology to offer an automated and fully validated system
Using this set-up, up to 10µg (Midi: 2.5µg) of total DNA per sample can be extracted from blood using a validated, simple, reliable and fully automated procedure, with a throughput of 200 (Midi: 300) samples per shift. The isolated DNA is ready-to-use for downstream applications such as PCR set-up, which can be automated on the same platform.
Features and Benefits
- Validated method procedure available
- Downstream applications of eluted g
- DNA may be integrated using the same platform (e.g. DNA normalization, PCR set-up)
- Excellent price/performance ratio
- Hands-free processing
- Eluted DNA is ready to use for PCR set-up
- Individual number of processed samples per run
System Configuration
- MICROLAB® STAR, 8 channels, Auto load option for barcode handling
- AGOWA® Maxisep 9600 and / or 7200 magnetic separator (AGOWA, Berlin, Germany)
- All required carriers
