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 OT-2
The OT-2 can automate your magnetic bead-based nucleic acid isolation and purification workflows for up to 24 samples. Configure your workstation with an on-deck Heater-Shaker if your protocol requires heating and agitation for lysis, or without a Heater-Shaker if your protocol does not require heating or agitation.
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.
