DNA/RNA Extraction System

Overview

ExiPrep™ 16 Plus extracts nucleic acids and purifies protein automatically up to 16 samples. Through optimized experimental protocols, it not only allows to get reproducible results, but also wide compatibility with various types of nucleic acids and protein samples. Furthermore, this instrument has excellent space utilization thanks to its small size. 

 

Features and Benefits

• Built-in optimized nucleic acid extraction protocol

  Simplified usage and reproducible results with built-in nucleic acid extraction and protein purification protocols optimized for various samples and targets

• High-purity nucleic acid extraction

  Extraction of highly pure nucleic acids by attaching magnetic particles to the bottom of each well equally and rapidly by magnetic blocks attached to the instrument
  Increased elution efficiency allowing complete evaporation of alcohols by its heating block

• Prevention of contamination

  Substantial blocking of cross-contamination, which may occur in other wells by the aerosols generated from the tip, through the sophisticated designs drop-contamination prevention device located at the bottom of the filter tip

• Automatic UV sterilization

  Sterilization to prevent infection for the users by the samples through the UV lamp installed inside the instrument

• Easy-to-use

  User-friendly UI capable of checking the experimental progress rate real-time without the need of seperate PC by equipping with a 3.5-inch touch screen on the front of the device

• Excellent Precision

  Minimized error range, that may occur during the automatic dispensing of the solution, through installment of an adjustable syringe motor up to 0.1 mm capable of stably distributing in a volume of 25 ul ~ 1000 ul for application to various protocols and obtaining of experimental results
