QIAcube — pure efficiency

30 Jan 2007

Product news

The revolutionary QIAcube marks the beginning of a new era in sample prep and makes automated sample processing available to all labs. The innovative QIAcube automates purification of DNA, RNA, or proteins using trusted QIAGEN spin-column kits. By eliminating manual processing steps, you can use your time more efficiently.

The QIAcube is preinstalled with protocols for purification of plasmid DNA, genomic DNA, RNA, viral nucleic acids, and proteins, plus DNA and RNA cleanup. The range of protocols available is continually expanding, and additional QIAGEN protocols can be downloaded free of charge.

Fully automated purification of nucleic acids or proteins using reliable QIAGEN spin kits on the QIAcube enables you to use your valuable time more efficiently. All processing steps are performed by the QIAcube — from sample lysis to elution of highly pure nucleic acids or proteins. The QIAcube is highly suitable for academic research laboratories as well as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and biomedical research laboratories.

The QIAcube takes ease of use to a new level, and can be operated by anyone — from the novice to the expert. The standardized, automated purification procedure helps to eliminate human error, providing results that are comparable between experiments and labs.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.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.

The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates.
