GENE PREP

The GENE PREP is the latest DNA extraction system from AutoGen providing many of the same features of our earlier models including:

     ● Total Automation
     ● Multiple Sample Capability
     ● Low Cost per Sample
     ● High Yield
     ● High Quality DNA

THE GENE PREP is a new and improved DNA isolation system for plant, animal tissue and plasmid samples.

Key New Features Include:
     ● Capable of automating entire extraction process including
        tissue digestion.
     ● Shorter processing time (48 samples in only 2 hours).
     ● Expandable modular system grows with your lab.
