The innovative QIAcube uses advanced technology to process QIAGEN spin columns, enabling seamless integration of automated, low-throughput sample prep into the laboratory workflow. No change of purification chemistry is required, assuring fast startup and immediate results. All steps in the purification procedure are fully automated up to 12 samples can be processed per run.
Automation of trusted QIAGEN spin-column kits
Elimination of manual processing steps
Purification of DNA, RNA, or proteins
More free time with affordable automated processing
Standardized results and increased productivity
The QIAcube is designed to perform fully automated purification of nucleic acids and proteins in molecular biology applications. The system is intended for use by professional users, such as technicians and physicians trained in molecular biological techniques and the operation of the QIAcube.
The QIAcube performs fully automated processing of up to 12 samples. The instrument controls integrated components including a centrifuge, heated shaker, pipetting system, and robotic gripper. The QIAcube is preinstalled with various protocols for processing QIAGEN spin columns for purification of RNA, genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, viral nucleic acids, or proteins, plus DNA and RNA cleanup. The user selects a protocol using the touchscreen, and loads plasticware, samples, and reagents onto the QIAcube worktable. The user then closes the instrument door and starts the protocol, which provides all necessary commands for sample lysis and purification using QIAGEN spin columns. A fully automated load check helps to ensure correct loading of the worktable.
The range of protocols available is continually expanding, and additional QIAGEN protocols can be downloaded free of charge at www.qiagen.com/MyQIAcube.
