Opentrons biological nucleic acid extraction instrument

Opentrons biological nucleic acid extractor is a device widely used in the field of life sciences. It is mainly used to automatically extract and purify nucleic acids (including DNA and RNA) from various biological samples. The following is a detailed introduction to the Opentrons biological nucleic acid extraction instrument:

1. Product Overview

Opentrons biological nucleic acid extraction instrument combines advanced biochemical technology and precise mechanical design to efficiently and accurately complete nucleic acid extraction work. It is often used in conjunction with specific nucleic acid extraction reagents to optimize extraction efficiency and purity. As a well-known life science instrument manufacturer, Opentrons' products enjoy a high reputation in the market.

2. Working principle

The working principle of Opentrons biological nucleic acid extraction instrument is mainly based on magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction technology. This technology achieves efficient and standardized operations by controlling the entire process of binding magnetic beads to target nucleic acids, washing impurities, and finally releasing pure nucleic acids. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Sample processing: First, preprocess biological samples to remove impurities and non-nucleic acid substances to obtain relatively pure cell or nucleic acid samples.

2. Cell lysis: Use lysis solution or chemical reagents to destroy the walls and membranes of cells and release nucleic acid molecules within the cells.

3. Nucleic acid adsorption and separation: Use magnetic beads or specific adsorption materials to adsorb nucleic acid molecules. Under the action of a magnetic field, the magnetic beads can be easily separated from the solution, thereby achieving preliminary separation of nucleic acids.

4. Cleaning and purification: Remove residual impurities, proteins or other non-nucleic acid substances by adding cleaning buffer and using the adsorption properties of magnetic beads or adsorption materials.

5. Nucleic acid elution and collection: Change the pH value, salt concentration of the solution or use a specific eluent to elute the nucleic acid from the magnetic beads or adsorption material and collect it into a suitable container.

3. Product features

1. High degree of automation: Opentrons biological nucleic acid extraction instrument can automatically complete a series of steps such as sample processing, nucleic acid adsorption, washing, and elution, reducing the tediousness and errors of manual operations.

2. High extraction efficiency: Using advanced magnetic bead technology, high-purity nucleic acids can be extracted from samples quickly and accurately.

3. Strong processing capability: supports multi-channel parallel processing, can process multiple samples at one time, and meets the needs of large-scale nucleic acid detection.

4. Stable and reliable results: By accurately controlling various parameters in the extraction process (such as temperature, time, centrifugal force, etc.), the consistency and stability of the extraction results are ensured.

5. Intelligent data analysis and reporting: Some models of Opentrons biological nucleic acid extractors also have data recording and analysis functions, which can monitor the extraction process in real time and automatically generate reports.

4. Application areas

Opentrons biological nucleic acid extractors are widely used in many fields such as disease control centers, clinical disease diagnosis, blood transfusion safety, forensic identification, environmental microbial testing, food safety testing, animal husbandry and molecular biology research. In the prevention and control of epidemics such as the new coronavirus, its rapid, efficient and accurate nucleic acid extraction capabilities are of great significance for the timely prevention and control of epidemics.

5. Things to note

1. Before using the Opentrons biological nucleic acid extraction instrument, be sure to read and understand the equipment instructions carefully and operate in accordance with the instructions.

2. Select appropriate nucleic acid extraction reagents and consumables to ensure extraction effect and quality.

3. Perform regular maintenance and upkeep on the equipment, such as cleaning, calibration, etc., to ensure the normal operation and extraction effect of the equipment.

4. Pay attention to operational safety and avoid harmful substances harming the human body.
