Automated DNA clean-up using the Zymo Research DNA Clean & Concentrator™ MagBead Kit

19 Aug 2024

DNA clean-up methods are used to purify samples of DNA by removing any unwanted components. This is crucial for the success of downstream processes in genomics, biotechnology, molecular biology, clinical research and other fields of biology.

In this application note, INTEGRA describes how Zymo Research’s DNA Clean & Concentrator™ (DCC) MagBead kit can be used with the VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipette on the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot to automate DNA purification and concentration, enabling high throughput processing.

VOYAGER Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipettes

INTEGRA Biosciences

The VOYAGER electronic pipettes enable users to change the tip spacing electronically with the push of a button. Up to three different tip spacings from 4.5 mm to 33 mm can be set and saved. Accelerate reformatting of plates, e.g. 96 well plates to 384 well plates, transfers from racked tubes into microplates or filling pockets of Agarose gels. The VOYAGER electronic pipettes feature a colour display and an intuitive touch wheel user interface. This enables quickest volume changes and easy, ergonomic modification of pipetting parameters. Ten predefined protocols are available, such as Repeat Dispense, Serial Dilute, Sample Mix. In addition, up to 20 customized protocols can be created and stored on the pipette. VOYAGER Adjustable Tip Spacing Pipette Features & Benefits:  Electronically adjustable tip spacing accelerates plate reformatting and sample transfers between different lab ware formats. Unique tip fitting design ensures that tips snap into place and will not accidently fall off. GripTips attach the same way each and every time to enable precise touching off. Intuitive touch wheel interface for rapid volume setting and easy programming. Available Models: 4-channel 6-channel 8-channel 12-channel
