Clinical diagnostic nucleic acid extractor ADNap 20

fully automatedcompactwith touchscreen

The system relies on an automated 96-channel magnetic head for reliable and rapid extraction of high-quality nucleic acids. Like all of Aurora’s liquid handlers, this system is open and flexible. Applications Extracted nucleic acids can be used for a number of applications including High throughput genomic applications such as next generation sequencing. Processing samples for genetic testing Microbiome research including infectious diseases. Drug development. Features and Benefits Compact bench top system High quality and reproducibility Open and flexible system. Easy to use touch-screen interface. Stores up to 1000 different programs Heating blocks (up to 90 oC) Built-in UV lamp combined with the use of disposable magnetic tip combs and extraction tubes delivers effective and decontamination Principle The ADNap 20 uses a 96-channel head of magnetic bars combined with disposable tip combs to mix and transfer magnetic beads. The magnetic bars move up and down, allowing mixing of the reagents and beads following lysis. Once the magnetic beads collect at the bottom of the tip comb (that surrounds the magnetic rods) the magnetic head moves to a different plate and the beads are released into the new plate by moving the magnetic rods out of the tip comb. This process is repeated for bead washing and elution steps. Performance Positive COVID-19 samples (n=20) were extracted by three different methods (reagents), and the positivity detection rates were compared.
