Simultaneous Extraction of DNA and RNA from FFPE Samples
29 Apr 2021
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.
About the company
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.
