The oKtopure – Sistem Ekstraksi DNA Otomatis Skala Besar is a fully automated nucleic acid extraction platform that combines high-throughput automation with the proprietary sbeadex™ magnetic bead based extraction chemistry for high quality, high yield extraction. The instrument delivers standardised, high-throughput purification with high quality DNA suitable for downstream applications such as sequencing, microarrays and SNP genotyping.
Key to the delivery of consistently high quality and high yield DNA preparations from the oKtopure is its ability to bind and hold the magnetic beads with the DNA in place while transferring the buffers required for washing, binding and elution steps. The final aqueous wash used in the sbeadex extraction protocols enables the delivery of nucleic preparations ideal for downstream applications such as SNP genotyping, NGS and Sanger sequencing. The availability of the offline tip wash station is a key feature of the oKtopure automated DNA extraction system, and this offers savings on consumables of up to 50% through the re-use of tips across up to 40 DNA extraction runs.
