ION Force DNA Extractor FAST – Vacuum manifold for purification columns

Vacuum-driven liquid processing facilitates sample handling and reduces hands-on preparation time by eliminating the tedious loading and unloading of spin columns into a centrifuge and subsequent removal of flow-through during binding and washing procedures. This manifold together with a vacuum pump is an ideal set up for convenient parallel processing of up to 20 samples using several Generon and Generon technical partners DNA/RNA extraction kits. Simply insert 1–20 columns into the manifold, add the samples or buffers, and turn on the vacuum source. Samples and buffers are drawn efficiently through columns, facilitating multiple loadings of large sample volumes and eliminating the need to discard flow-through. Vacuum-driven liquid processing is faster than centrifugation and still gives high, reproducible yields. The sample flow-through, containing possible infectious material, is collected in the manifold limiting the exposure of the operator and allowing a safe disposal at the end of the operations.
