Instruments
High Throughput
FlexSTAR platform workflow (FlexSTAR / FlexSTAR+) – Includes protocols for 0.5-2 ml, 2-5 ml, and 6-10 ml of fresh or frozen whole blood
- Throughput: Loads 1-30 samples from a variety of primary tube sizes directly on the instrument
- Chemistry: Customizable workflow incorporating proven and reliable precipitation-based chemistry with 17 years of long-term storage data while offering automated liquid handling from primary sample tubes to final DNA storage tubes
- Unique Features:
- High-quality gDNA, free from protein or RNA contaminants – up to 200kb molecular weight and up to 400μg of ready-to-use DNA for your downstream and long-term storage
- Tracks and records barcodes throughout the process to preserve sample integrity
- FlexSTAR kits include all required consumables for nucleic acid purification and require far less plasticware than other, less environmentally friendly solutions
Medium Throughput
XTRACT 16+ – Extraction of DNA and RNA from up to 1.2ml blood
- Throughput: Processes 1-16 samples
- Chemistry: Magnetic, bead-based
- Unique Features:
- Easy-to-use touch screen operation
- UV decontamination
- LIMs integration with sample tracking/bar code scanning
Low Throughput
QuickGene-610L
- Throughput: Extracts 1-6 samples of 1-2ml whole blood in 12 minutes
- Chemistry: Ultra-thin, polymer, membrane-based, bench-top system, that does not require centrifugation or vacuum
- Unique Features:
- Higher molecular weight due to gentle positive air pressure, minimizing shearing
- Multiple input racks add to daily throughput with checkerboard processing
- Easy to use
- Variable resuspension volumes
QuickGene-Mini8L – Non-automated version of the QuickGene-610L
- Throughput: Processes 1-8 blood samples of 1-2ml (each) at once
- Chemistry: Ultra-thin, polymer, membrane-based, bench-top system, that does not require centrifugation or vacuum
- Unique Features:
- Provides a faster workflow in comparison to a standard manual kit
- Compact and affordable
