Automating your nucleic acid extraction workflows can enable higher throughput, improve precision, and reduce labor. However, developing methods on highly flexible and sophisticated liquid handling workstations such as Hamilton, Tecan or Beckman Coulter requires a deep understanding of robotics, the biological sample, extraction chemistry, and downstream quality requirements. First-time workflow development can take months, and challenging samples add further complexity.
This webinar will focus on developing optimized workflows for challenging sample types, including FFPE, circulating cell-free DNA, large-volume blood, and RNA from plasma, where automation can be both complex and impactful. We will also introduce two new high-throughput extraction chemistries designed to maximize precious samples and streamline oncology workflows:
Maxwell® HT XtractAll FFPE DNA/RNA Kit - supports four complete workflows for purification of DNA, RNA, total nucleic acid, or sequential DNA and RNA from a single FFPE tissue section.
Maxwell® HT Rapid ccfDNA Kit - enables efficient purification of ccfDNA from up to 4ml plasma per sample, delivering high yields of low-gDNA ccfDNA ideal for sensitive downstream applications such as NGS, qPCR, and digital PCR.
Join our interactive webinar and ask our panel of experts your most challenging questions on efficiently automating nucleic acid extraction.
In this webinar, you will learn about:
Principles of nucleic acid extraction using magnetic particles and liquid handling robots
The foundational work required before building a method
How to build and troubleshoot automated nucleic acid extraction workflows
How to address challenging samples such as FFPE, ccfDNA, large-volume blood, and RNA, etc.
