Description
Qiagen QIAcube uses advanced technology to process QIAGEN spin columns, enabling seamless integration of automated, low-throughput sample prep into the laboratory workflow. All steps in the purification procedure are fully automated up to 12 samples can be processed per run. The Qiagen QIAcube is preinstalled with a variety of protocols for automated purification of RNA, genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, viral nucleic acids, and proteins, plus DNA and RNA cleanup.
All processing steps are performed by the QIAcube ? from sample lysis to elution of highly pure nucleic acids or proteins. No change of chemistry is required, assuring fast startup and immediate results and performance are comparable to the manual procedure.
Qiagen QIAcube automates your spin preps
The standardized, automated purification procedure helps to eliminate human error, providing results that are comparable between experiments and labs, and giving you more time to focus on downstream analyses. The fully automated centrifuge, equipped with 12 swing-out buckets, eliminates manual centrifugation steps giving you more time for other tasks.
Innovative disposable rotor adapters hold spin columns and collection tubes in the centrifuge and collect wash buffers during centrifugation. Highly pure nucleic acids or proteins are eluted into collection tubes, ready to use in sensitive downstream applications.
“It worked with both QIAcube and QIAsymphony at a COVID PCR unit. Both instruments are fantastic; however, the QIAcube has more benefits than the QIAsymphony, such as better ease of use. The QIAsymphony can extract a higher number of RNA samples, but QIAcube is more flexible in its technicality, it just need more space for samples.”
The Qiagen QIAcube is used for automated sample prep using spin-column kits. It can be used for many routine processes and increases time efficiency and reproducibility through automation. It features easy to download and transfer of new protocols, load check before each run, standalone touch screen interaction, and individual centrifuge and shaker functionality.
