Nordiag Arrow

Fully Automated DNA & RNA Extraction System / Isolation in a Benchtop Package

Automated DNA/RNA extraction

The Nordiag Arrow is AutoGen's newest product addition for automated genomic DNA and RNA extraction. It is fully automated from sample addition to DNA or RNA solution. Using an innovative paramagnetic bead technology, the Nordiag Arrow extraction system processes from 1-12 samples in just 30 minutes. The Arrow is half the price, has twice the throughput, and more features than other leading low throughput extractors.
