LABGENE-MINI extraction robot is designed to meet the requirements for nucleic acid purification with high efficiency and purity.
Robust and reliable technology
The magnetic beads provide a high surface area for binding. The use of the LABGENE-MINI with magnetic beads allows for the uniform distribution of the beads in the buffers.
The robot uses 4 x 8-rod magnetic heads in order to move the nucleic acids along with the magnetic beads through the different extraction steps : lysis, binding, washing, and elution.
This technique considerably limits sample and reagent cross-contamination thanks to the automated distribution of liquids. The robustness of the LABGENE-MINI is guaranteed by the stability of its magnetic head. The comb holder protects the head from instrument vibrations. Operator security is ensured thanks to a safety which automatically stops powering the device if the cover is opened.
Versatile, high throughput programs
LABGENE-MINI programs use universal DNA/RNA protocols, common to all sample types and pathogens : in the same test run, it is possible to extract DNA or RNA from multiple pathogens or sample types (biological fluids, swabs, cell culture, tissue lysats, soil, and faeces).
LABGENE-MINI allows to purify 16 samples in as little as 20 minutes.
User-friendly
LABGENE-MINI is supplied with pre-programmed protocols. The user can also easily create his own protocols.

Consumables
LABGENE-MINI uses polypropylene consumables suited to extraction and purification with magnetic beads. Thanks to their low binding affinity for biomolecules, these consumables allow for the efficient homogenisation and collection of magnetic beads. The system can be used with either Deep-Well plates or single strips that will make single testing even more cost-effective :
