Low and medium-throughput laboratories now have an alternative to manual processes and spin-column methods for nucleic acid purification, thanks to a new automated system.
The Thermo Scientific KingFisher Duo Prime nucleic acid and protein purification system will debut at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2015, booths 1501 and 1701 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, April 18-22.
Designed for research labs and small biotech firms looking to simplify DNA, RNA and protein purification processes, the new KingFisher Duo Prime system builds upon the utility of the existing KingFisher Duo system to help improve reproducibility and deliver high quality samples with less time and effort than traditional manual methods. With the KingFisher Duo, isolating DNA from 12 blood samples takes as little as 53 minutes and only requires a mere 15 minutes of hands-on time, compared to manual spin-column methods, which take up to 90 minutes of hands-on ...
