Avian Influenza: Automated Nucleic Acid Testing for Veterinarian Diagnostics
This application note describes an automated method for nucleic acid extraction and avian influenza diagnosis. Avian influenza is a bird disease caused by the highly pathogenic influenza virus. Specific mutations and evolution in influenza viruses cannot be predicted, making it difficult if not impossible to know if or when a virus such as H5N1 might acquire the properties needed to spread easily and sustainably among humans. Tecan’s nucleic acid extraction workstation allows the lab to react flexibly to changing sample entries and allows 96 samples to be extracted in parallel in 1.5 hours.
Automated RNA Extraction Using MACHEREY-NAGEL’s NucleoSpin<sup>®</sup> 96 RNA Kit on the Tecan Freedom Nucleic Acid Sample Preparation Workstation
Discover how combining the NucleoSpin® with the Freedom Sample Preparation Workstation allows fully automated total RNA extraction in a 96-well format. High-throughput RNA isolation technology plays a pivotal role in operation of high-throughput gene expression profiling. However, throughput, quality and quantity of total RNA prepared are often the limiting steps for downstream genetic analysis. The Freedom Workstation is equipped with 8 pipetting channels (disposable tips) and a robotic manipulator arm, whilst Gemini software is used for control of the process. Using the Tecan Freedom Sample Preparation Workstation, automation of the total RNA extraction method can be realized.
