Automated DNA Purification from Soil Samples using Maxwell 16

  The Maxwell® 16 LEV RNA FFPE Purification Kit is designed to extract RNA rapidly from FFPE samples using the Maxwell® 16 Instrument (Cat.# AS2000 and AS3000).   The FFPE kit is specifically designed for optimal purification of RNA from 5μm thin sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. The Maxwell® 16 LEV RNA FFPE Purification Kit is optimized to yield a final RNA concentration that maximizes RNA yield, eliminating the need to concentrate the extract prior to amplification. Lysates are placed directly into the cartridges, and RNA ready for amplification is obtained in approximately 60 minutes (after proteinase K digest). This kit does not use hazardous xylene, thereby providing a much safer method than many competitive kits. Additionally, quality testing demonstrates virtually no PCR inhibitors in purified samples. Features & Benefits: Automated Platform for Extracting RNA from FFPE Mammalian Tissues: Provides an alternative to manual competitive offerings. Walkaway Automated Extraction from up to 16 Samples in a Single Run: Provides superior ease of use over competition. Provides High Yield, Pure and Amplifiable RNA from FFPE Mammalian Tissue Samples: Minimizes sample waste and reruns. Simple Method with No Organic Solvents for Deparaffinization: No exposure to toxic organic reagents to deparaffinize the FFPE tissue sample prior to RNA purification. Decreased Processing Time: Protocol can be completed within a single 8-hour shift. Applications: Automated RNA purification from FFPE samples.
