Simultaneous Extraction of DNA and RNA from FFPE Samples

The new Ionic® FFPE Complete Purification Kit from Purigen Biosystems provides simultaneous purification of DNA and RNA, including miRNA, from FFPE tissues. While most technologies use a serial approach to separately isolate DNA and RNA, this new kit enables a single, automated workflow using the Ionic® Purification System that requires 75% less hands on time.

Purigen Biosystems

Purigen Biosystems' transformative Ionic Purification System provides a hands-free solution for extracting, enriching and quantifying DNA and RNA from biological samples. Our proprietary approach uses isotachophoresis (ITP), an electric-field-driven technique for purifying, focusing, and/or separating species. The application of ITP to purify and quantify nucleic acids from complex biological samples was pioneered by Purigen co-founder, Stanford Professor Juan G. Santiago. The Ionic® Purification System is compatible with a range of samples including cells and FFPE. Purigen is proudly affliated with StartX Med, a Stanford-University-affliated nonprofit technology accelerator, and the California Life Sciences Institute’s (CLSI) FAST Advisory Program.

Ionic® Purification System

Purigen Biosystems

The Ionic® Purification System is a benchtop platform that provides automated extraction of DNA and RNA from biological samples. Using cutting-edge technology based on isotachophoresis, the Ionic system separates DNA and RNA freely in solution, without binding to or stripping nucleic acids from physical surfaces. The workflow is simple and efficient, while producing higher yields with higher purity, consistently and reliably.
