Nucleic acid extraction is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors, which can cause a bottleneck in workflows. Laboratory automation can automate magnetic bead-based nucleic acid extraction reliably with minimal hands-on time.
Automate bead-based nucleic acid extractions on the Opentrons Flex
With the Flex Nucleic Acid Extraction Workstation, you can automate your NAE workflow at the scale you need to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and save hands-on time. Flex enables you to automate your workflows using many leading magnetic bead-based reagent systems on the market.
When thinking through the transition to automation, you need to consider whether your manual NAE technique is amenable to automation; luckily, most bead-based techniques are. Check out this app note to see data from automating 13 popular NAE kits.
