Robotic workstation provides fully automated purification of DNA, RNA, or viral nucleic acids from a range of clinically relevant samples, including blood and tissues

The BioRobot M48 workstation, with MagAttract purification technology, provides fully automated purification of DNA, RNA, or viral nucleic acids from a range of clinically relevant samples, including blood and tissues Processing 6-48 samples per run with easy-to-use software protocols, the system fulfils a range of daily throughput requirements

Flexible sample and elution volumes allow purification of nucleic acids at the yield and concentration required to ensure streamlined workflow and reliable performance in sensitive downstream applications, such as quantitative RT-PCR, microarray analysis, or amplification of a single-copy gene.

In addition, an integral UV light allows convenient decontamination of the workstation interior between runs, and disposable filter-tips prevent carryover.

The innovative design of the BioRobot M48 workstation enables magnetic separation to be carried out within disposable filter tips, ensuring consistent yields and reliable results.

Proven MagAttract magnetic-particle technology provides high purity, with the speed and convenience of automated magnetic separation.

Fully automated protocols are available for DNA purification from blood, tissues, cells, buccal swabs, dried blood, and bacteria.

MagAttract RNA Kits enable automated purification of total RNA or mRNA from cells and tissues.

The MagAttract Virus Mini M48 Kit provides a fully automated procedure for simultaneous purification of viral DNA and RNA from serum and plasma for life science applications.
