QIAcube Connect is designed to perform fully automated purification of nucleic acids and proteins in molecular biology applications. The system is intended for use by professional users trained in molecular biological techniques and the operation of QIAcube Connect.
Features
Automates over 80 QIAGEN kits with over 140 standard protocols for DNA, RNA and protein sample processing
Optional protocol customization expands the use to over 3000 protocols
Get reproducible results with less hands-on time
Monitor runs remotely, for quick response times, through the QIAsphere App
Product Details
QIAcube Connect lets you automate your manual spin-column-based sample preparation kits right out of the box and purify up to 12 samples in a single run.
Performance
The plug-and-play QIAcube Connect simplifies purification by automating QIAGEN spin-column kits. No change of chemistry is needed, so startup is fast, results are immediate, and performance is comparable to the manual procedure.
Principle
QIAcube Connect includes a centrifuge, heated shaker, pipetting system and robotic gripper (see " The QIAcube Connect worktable"). These let the QIAcube Connect fully automate more than 80 QIAGEN spin column kits.
Procedure
QIAcube Connect isolates highly pure nucleic acids or proteins using a spin-column-based lyse, bind, wash and elute procedure (see '' Automated QIAprep Mini Standard procedure'').
Unparalleled ease-of-use
A large touchscreen (see figure '' The QIAcube Connect touchscreen'') simplifies protocol selection. Clear on-screen messages guide you through worktable setup.
