Overview

The InviMag® Blood DNA Mini Kit/ STARlet is designed for fully automated, magnetic bead based genomic DNA extraction from 96 fresh or frozen whole blood samples per run with the STARlet system from Hamilton.

Benefits

• Automated, walk-away DNA purification of 96 samples
• High reproducibility through standardized processing
• For In Vitro Diagnostic Use (CE-IVD)*

Product Characteristics

Workflow

The STARlet instrument uses an 8- or a 4-channel pipettor to transfer samples and buffers and a magnetic tool to separate the DNA bound to magnetic particles during the various extraction phases: lysis, binding, washing and elution. The automated purification process results in a fast, reliable and robust technique.

After sample specific lysis, binding conditions are adjusted upon addition of Binding Solution. The genomic DNA binds to the added magnetic particles and is separated from the solution by the magnetic tool controlled by the STARlet system. Subsequent to three washing steps of the particle bound nucleic acids, the DNA is finally eluted in Elution Buffer.

Due to the high purity the eluted nucleic acids are ready-to-use use for subsequent downstream applications:

• PCR, real-time PCR, qPCR

• HLA Typing

• Southern Blot
