Automated nucleic acid extractors have become essential instruments in many molecular biology studies because of their remarkable high efficiency, reproducibility, and throughput. Amerigo Scientific offers TGuide M16 and TGuide S32 automated nucleic acid extractors that are designed to streamline and optimize nucleic acid purification workflows.
TGuide M16 is a simple, fast and cost-effective automatic nucleic acid extraction instrument that utilizes magnetic bead separation technology to purify nucleic acids from various samples such as whole blood, cells, bacteria, tissues, and plants. With a pre-input program and reagent tanks pre-loaded with magnetic bead reagents, the instrument can purify nucleic acids automatically with good consistency and high stability. Using TGuide M16, nucleic acids can be extracted and purified from samples in approximately 30 minutes.
TGuide S32 is an automated extractor that utilizes the magnetic bar adsorption and transfer technology to extract nucleic acid from various samples, and can process up to 32 samples at the same time. The instrument uses special magnetic rods with large vibration amplitude and high precision to absorb, transfer, and release magnetic beads. Applied with a 96-well plate and different magnetic bead extraction reagents, TGuide S32 can extract nucleic acid from blood, cells, tissues, viruses and other samples.
