BioRobot EZ1 Workstation

For easy, automated purification of nucleic acids from 1-6 clinical or forensic samples

• High-quality genomic DNA – rapid purification from a wide range of clinical and forensic samples
• High-quality total RNA – rapid purification from cells and tissues
• Viral nucleic acids – from serum and plasma samples
• Total nucleic acids – from cells and easy-to- lyse -tissues

Principle

The BioRobot EZ1 workstation purifies high-quality nucleic acids from clinically relevant samples, such as whole blood. 1-6 samples are processed in 15-20 minutes. The rapid speed of nucleic acid purification is achieved through magnetic particle technology: nucleic acids in sample lysates are isolated in one step through their binding to the silica surface of magnetic particles.

Reagents are supplied in pre-filled EZ1 Reagent Cartridges, which ensures speed and convenience in loading the BioRobot EZ1. Protocols for nucleic acid purification are supplied on pre-programmed EZ1 Cards. These protocols provide both on-screen instructions for the operator and operating commands for the workstation. The range of kits and protocols for the BioRobot EZ1 is continuously expanding to allow nucleic acid purification from a wide range of sample types.
