BioRobot EZ1 DSP - Walkaway Nucleic Acid Purification for Molecular Diagnostics

QIAGEN
31 Oct 2007

Product news

With the BioRobot® EZ1® DSP*, QIAGEN offers a fully automated CE-IVD-compliant solution for automated purification of genomic DNA from human whole blood and viral nucleic acids from serum, plasma and CSF. The CE-marked system provides exact performance specifications, assuring highly reliable purification of nucleic acids from 1-6 samples for in vitro diagnostic use.

In combination with the EASYartus PCR Kits* we offer a fully CE-IVD-compliant solution for reliable pathogen detection for routine diagnostics. EASYartus PCR Kits provide fully automated viral nucleic acid purification using the EZ1™ DSP Virus Kit*, combined with pathogen detection using artus® PCR Kits.* EASYartus PCR Kits are available for use with the LightCycler® Instrument, the ABI PRISM® 7000, 7700 and 7900HT SDS, and the Rotor-Gene™ 3000.

* BioRobot EZ1 DSP, EZ1 DSP Virus Kit, artus PCR Kits, and EASYartus PCR Kits are not available in USA / Canada.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits. Find the best PCR kits and thermal cyclers and purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.DNA / RNA Extraction and PurificationPurified DNA and RNA are required for numerous downstream molecular biology applications. Consequently, the importance of high-quality DNA/RNA extraction and purification equipment cannot be underestimated. Many purification kits are available and are typically optimized for nucleic acid type and source, including plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, mRNA, RNA and viral nucleic acid purification kits. Automated extraction and purification of nucleic acids can be implemented with magnetic bead separator instruments or high-throughput purification workstations.
