Increased DNA yield from FFPE samples purified using the Ionic System reduces PCR duplicates in NGS

Purigen Biosystems
29 Apr 2021

In this application note, to compare the efficiency of DNA extraction and purification from FFPE samples, DNA was purified from a single 10 µm thick section from eight FFPE tissue blocks (18 years of age) containing breast, colon, or lung tissue using the Purigen Ionic® Purification System and a commercially available column-based kit. Adjacent scrolls were harvested from each block and processed separately by each method. The DNA purified by each method was quantified prior to NGS.

Ionic® Purification System

Purigen Biosystems

The Ionic® Purification System is a benchtop platform that provides automated extraction of DNA and RNA from biological samples. Using cutting-edge technology based on isotachophoresis, the Ionic system separates DNA and RNA freely in solution, without binding to or stripping nucleic acids from physical surfaces. The workflow is simple and efficient, while producing higher yields with higher purity, consistently and reliably.
