chemagic Prime Instrument
Automated Nucleic Acid Isolation and Assay Setup
The chemagic™ Prime™ Instrument is a fully automated solution offering hands-free sample transfer, DNA and RNA isolation, normalization (optional), and PCR setup for research applications. This validated, single supplier solution offers high quality DNA and RNA which can be extracted from a variety of matrices.
Overview
Nucleic acid isolation is a critical prerequisite for many downstream applications. The chemagic Prime Instrument uses patented magnetic bead technology with fully automated liquid handling to provide high quality and high yield extraction of DNA and RNA from a variety of sample types. Extracted nucleic acids are suitable for next generation sequencing, genotyping, MLPA, and other types of PCR analysis. The chemagic Prime separates nucleic acids from solutions by transferring the beads instead of the process solutions, reducing the risk of contamination, offering higher purity and higher molecular weight DNA and RNA than alternative solutions.
Kits are available for DNA and RNA extraction from a variety of human samples including:
- whole blood
- plasma
- saliva
- FFPE samples
- tissues
- feces
