We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "DNA purification",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release High-throughput synthetic DNA/RNA purification from
Phenomenex, which we summarised at the time by saying "The unique Clarity QSP approach reinvents trityl-on purification, delivering nearly impurity free, concentrated, full-length oligonucleotide sequences".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Automated DNA extraction gets personal from
Mole Genetics: "GeneMole personal DNA extraction system is a closed and fully automated system comprising a liquid-handling robot capable of running one to 16 samples at a time".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Labtech International
concerning its Phusion technology / HP-PCR
- take a look at Robust method for direct PCR from whole blood
which says: "Combination of highly processive Phusion DNA Polymerases, ultra quick Piko Thermal Cyclers and ultra-thin walled UTW tubes provides benefits to PCR speed, yield, fidelity, specificity, and robustness".
Take a look also at the news release from Nexttec Biotechnologie, Purifying DNA with a single centrifugation step,
as well as Licensing Agreement with Epigentek from Sigma-Aldrich,
and Genvault appoints David Wellis as CEO from GenVault.
