Large volume genomic DNA purification
This is the first in a line of systems that couple Promega's DNA purification applications with Tecan's expertise in automation to deliver fast, reliable and easy to use systems
Tecan has released the Freedom Evo gDNA XL for the automated purification of genomic DNA (gDNA) ready for use in downstream applications including genotyping, genome analysis and real-time PCR Eluted gDNA can be prepared from fresh, refrigerated or frozen whole blood samples by incorporating the recently launched chemistry of the Promega MagneSil Genomic Large Volume System with the flexible Freedom Evo workstation technology

The Freedom Evo gDNA XL is described as a powerful, fully automated system that purifies gDNA from samples from primary tubes, for example Vacutainer tubes, without needing user intervention for further treatments such as pellet resuspension.
The purification method automatically detects sample volume levels and scales all reagent volumes accordingly without additional programming.
The system provides long walk-away times by eliminating the need for laborious centrifugation steps and the use of organic solvents.
Its robust hardware, software and protocol are all scalable, allowing sample sizes of 1-10ml in a single run and 1-96 samples per batch, minimising reagent wastage.
The Freedom Evo gDNA XL is the first in a line of systems that couple Promega's DNA purification applications with Tecan's expertise in automation to deliver fast, reliable and easy to use systems that generate proven results.
