Analytik Jena Presented SmartExtraction for DNA Isolation

May 23, 2016 By Guest Author

Analytik Jena presents SmartExtraction at Analytica.

Analytik Jena presented at Analytica the automated DNA extraction method SmartExtraction. The new system combines a patented extraction chemistry (DC-technology) and an intelligent pipette tip, eliminating the need for extra materials or specialized equipment like centrifuges, vacuum stations or magnets.

The DC-Technology doesn’t need phenol/chloroform, ion exchanger, spin-filter columns or silica or magnetic particle suspension. It combines chaotropic and non-chaotropic salts with low ionic strength to obtain lysis and binding buffers. The 1 mL filter tip inner Smart Modified Surface binds the desired nucleic acids, which are then efficiently eluted.

The procedure -just pipetting up and down- is simple and easy to automate. It can be applied to any liquid-handling system. High molecular weight DNA can be extracted in high quality and quantity. Quick routines are available for high-throughput applications.
