How to choose the right nucleic acid extraction system
The nucleic acid extraction system is an instrument that automatically completes the nucleic acid extraction work of samples by applying matching nucleic acid extraction reagents. It is widely used in various fields such as the Center for Disease Control, clinical disease diagnosis, blood transfusion safety, forensic identification, environmental microbiological testing, food safety testing, animal husbandry and molecular biology research.
Nucleic acid extraction system classification
1. Divided according to the size of the instrument model
1) Automatic liquid workstation
The automatic liquid workstation is a very powerful device, which automatically completes liquid dispensing and aspiration, and can even realize full automation of specimen extraction, amplification, and detection by integrating functions such as amplification and detection. Nucleic acid extraction is only one application of its function, and it is not suitable for routine laboratory extraction of nucleic acid. It is generally applied to the experimental needs of a single type of specimen and a very large amount of specimens (at least 96, generally several hundred) at a time. The platform establishment and operation of automatic workstations require relatively large funds.
2) Small-scale automatic nucleic acid extraction system The small-scale automatic instrument achieves the purpose of automatic nucleic acid extraction through the particularity of the operating structure, and can be used in any laboratory.
