Automated Nucleic Acid Purification at CRUK Cambridge Institute
Established in 2007, the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute was the first major new cancer research centre in the UK for over 50 years. The Institute's goal is to combine world-leading cancer biology with key technologies to bear on practical questions of cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
In this interview, Dr Suet-Feung Chin at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute describes how the Maxprep Liquid Handler is used for automating nucleic acid purification when using genomic methods to characterise breast cancers.
The Maxprep Liquid Handler and Maxwell RSC Instruments allow for a complete automated nucleic acid purification workflow. The system provides consistent and high-quality nucleic acids from a variety of sample types including blood, plasma, ccfDNA, FFPE, saliva, faeces and tissue.
The Maxprep™ Liquid Handler comes with preloaded automated methods for pre-processing of samples prior to nucleic acid purification on the Maxwell® RSC. In addition, the Maxprep™ Liquid Handler provides post extraction sample preparation with complete sample tracking for a variety of applications such as eluate transfers, quantitation dye addition, normalisation and PCR setup.
