Small and self-contained QuickGene-810 takes up minimal space
on the lab bench.
Intelligent
QuickGene-810 handles samples automatically
and extracts DNA or RNA .
FUJIFILM's patented porous membrane makes it possible to extract
DNA from eight sets of whole blood samples simultaneously in only
six minutes.
FUJIFILM provides several kits for extracting DNA from whole
blood and tissue samples and RNA from cultured cells, tissue
samples and blood cells.
The system uses a
porous, highly adsorptive membrane developed through application
of FUJIFILM's advanced polymer membrane production technology. It
is only 80μm thick, making it incomparably thinner than
conventional glass fibers.
QuickGene-810's ultra thin membrane alleviates the risk of
contaminants in the final prep due to residue in the membrane.
Problematic RNA
extraction can also be fully automated with QuickGene-810. RNA is
much more unstable than DNA, and ribonuclease in the atmosphere
or from the operator during the extraction process has sometimes
resulted in its degradation. But there's no risk at all of
contamination when you use QuickGene-810 because the extraction
process occurs automatically in a sealed, enclosed space.
Three pressurizing
stages -binding, washing and elution-occur automatically in the
unit.Because of the outstanding adsorptive and desorptive
properties of the membrane, high-purity nucleic acid can be
obtained easily at low pressure without any complex processes
such as centrifugation.
There are almost no
impurities in extracted genomic DNA and total RNA.
The absence of impurities such as proteins and chaotropic salts
means
that the isolated products can be used directly in PCR and RT-PCR.
High yields of
genomic DNA can be extracted from whole blood and total RNA from
cultured cells without any need to use hazardous organic
solvents.

There's no need for
complex isolation conditions. Automation ensures that extraction
doesn't fail because of contaminants in the final prep.
