Magnetic bead-based purification has become the preferred method for isolating DNA, RNA, and other target molecules from a variety of biological sample types. The quality and quantity of the extracted molecules can be significantly higher than other methods, such as spin columns, while the cost per sample can be lower. The IsoPure™ Mini is a compact, automated purification system that improves efficiency and reproducibility using the magnetic bead-based method. Capable of processing up to 16 samples at one time, the instrument is easy to set up, program, and operate. Mixing, magnetic bead transfer, washing, and elution steps are performed automatically, saving valuable hands-on time. The purification process can be completed within 10 to 60 minutes depending on the type of reagent kit used and the complexity of the program.
Creating a protocol is simple using the IsoPure™ app or PC software, both are included on a USB flash drive with each instrument. Mixing speed, sample temperature, and magnetisation parameters can be all be programmed. When using the IsoPure™ app on an Android device, the saved protocols can be transferred to the instrument via Bluetooth connection or by using the included barcode scanner. The PC software can be used for programming and transferring by USB flash drive or barcode scanner. Free, lifetime App updates are available so users can access newly available features as they are introduced.
