Automated Nucleic Acid Purification with the Auto-Pure Series

DNA extraction is a fundamental process in laboratories involved in genetics, diagnostics, or biotechnology. The DNA extraction systems of the Auto-Pure series listed here automate magnetic purification, thereby reducing manual errors and increasing reproducibility. The systems are designed for different requirements, from the compact Auto-Pure Mini to the high-throughput Auto-Pure 96 model.

Capacities and Scalability

When choosing a suitable device, the number of samples per run is decisive. The range includes solutions for 16 samples (Auto-Pure Mini), 32 samples (Auto-Pure S32), and 96 samples (Auto-Pure 96). All mentioned models are designed for a maximum sample volume of 1 ml, allowing for flexible handling of various sample materials.

Principle of Magnetic Separation

The devices utilize magnetic particles to which the nucleic acids bind. Through targeted movement of the magnetic rods, the particles are guided through various washing steps until the pure DNA or RNA is eluted. This process is fully automated and ensures consistent quality of the isolates for applications such as PCR, qPCR, or sequencing.

Frequently Asked Questions about DNA Extraction Systems

Here you will find technical and functional information on automated nucleic acid isolation.

What is a DNA extraction system used for?

These devices serve for the automated isolation and purification of DNA or RNA from biological samples. This is a prerequisite for subsequent analyses in medical diagnostics or research.

Which device is suitable for which sample throughput?

For small sample quantities, the Auto-Pure Mini with 16 positions is suitable. Medium throughputs are covered by the Auto-Pure S32 (32 samples), while the Auto-Pure 96 is designed for high throughput with 96 samples.

What technology do the extraction systems use?

The systems are based on magnetic purification. Magnetic beads are used to specifically bind nucleic acids and automatically separate them from impurities.

What is the difference between the Auto-Pure models?

The main difference lies in the number of samples per run (16, 32, or 96). The technical basis of magnetic separation and the maximum sample volume of 1 ml are comparable across these models.

What sample volume can be processed?

The Auto-Pure Mini, S32, and 96 models are specified for a maximum sample volume of up to 1 ml per sample.

How do I obtain a quote for a DNA extraction system?

Interested parties can request a price for the desired model to receive a specific quote for their needs.

What should be considered when operating the devices in the laboratory?

Due to the automated sequences, the devices require a stable location. The compact design, especially of the Auto-Pure Mini, allows for flexible use even with limited space on the laboratory bench.
