QuatroProbe

Automated DNA Extraction from Blood

For use with LIFECODES® product line of molecular typing products

Genomic DNA purification from blood is easy with the new QuatroProbe Automated DNA Extraction Platform from Gen-Probe. Using a novel, polymer-coated magnetic bead technology to isolate and purify human genomic DNA from whole blood or buffy coat, QuatroProbe is uniquely suited to the clinical laboratory environment.

  • No PC required - uses pre-programmed SMART cards.
  • Bottles can be placed directly from the kit into the instrument.
  • Can start with either whole blood (250uL) or "buffy coat" cells.
  • Optimized protocols employ a proprietary M-PVA Magnetic Bead technology.
  • Fully Automated Extraction Robot can process from 4 to 48 samples. (4 samples in <30 minutes, 48 samples in <60 minutes).
  • Rapid set-up and processing.
  • Color-coded reagent bottles for positive placement onto the machine.
  • Protocal optimized for: Whole blood (fresh or frozen) / Buffy coat.
  • Typical A260/280 ratio is 1.7 - 1.9.
  • Minimal sample pre-processing and "hands-on" time.
  • No cross-over contamination.
