DNA Purification System



The Thermo Scientific DNA Purification System automates all steps involved in the purification of DNA samples: binding of DNA to magnetic beads, washing of the bound material, elution from the solid phase and transfer to a final destination plate. Automating DNA purification boosts walkaway time for lab personnel, reduces human error, increases throughput, and improves sample processing uniformity.
   Product Detail


The DNA Purification System is an automation tool for bead based methods using magnetic particles. This includes binding of DNA to magnetic beads, washing of the bound material, elution from the solid phase and transfer to a final destination plate. Using POLARA™ Open Architecture Laboratory Software, the DNA Purification System manages plate movement in real-time and optimizes scheduling to consistently deliver high throughput.
