QuickGene-610L

Automated Whole Blood DNA Extraction in a Benchtop Package

Automated DNA extraction

The QuickGene-610L is built by FujiFilm Life Sciences and offered in North America by AutoGen. This is a compact bench top extraction system for rapid isolation of genomic DNA from up to 2.0 mls of Whole Blood and Saliva. The QuickGene technology utilizes an ultra thin polymer membrane for efficient capture of nucleic acids. This novel technology allows for isolation of high quality genomic DNA with high yields, suitable for a wide range of applications. The 610L will process up to 6 whole blood samples of 2 mls each in 12 minutes, saving valuable time and labor in your lab.

Summary of Features (click to expand)

50 µg of Genomic DNA can be isolated from a 2ml whole blood sample

The high quality of purified DNA samples is critical to successful genotyping studies. DNA samples of high quality and low cleavage rates are particularly essential in studies involving many genetic markers. QuickGene-610L isolates DNA samples under gentle extraction conditions, without using conventional centrifugal processes. This results in higher yields of DNA with higher molecular weight, fewer cleavages and high purity. QuickGene-610L is able to extract genomic DNA from a 2ml whole blood sample, and able to process 6 samples within 12 minutes*.

*Over 2ml of whole blood sample is adapted to pellet cells (buffy coat sample).

Three step operation & simple maintenance

Only three steps are required after preparing lysate samples: apply sample to cartridge, place cartridge holder on instrument and press START. QuickGene-610L's pre-programmed protocol automates the rest of the process.
Flat-paneled design and detachable stands allow easier maintenance and cleaning.

While running QuickGene-610L, another 6 samples can be applied to another Carriage holder. The system can process continuously by switching the cartridge holder. QuickGene-610L can perform 60 sample extractions per hour. It really is a high throughput machine!

6 Samples of gDNA extraction, entire process complete in approx. 25 minutes.

FujiFilm’s thin membrane effectively absorbs nucleic acids in hydrophobic solvents, separating proteins and lipids. This results in high purity and a greatly reduced processing time compared to manual methods.

Suitable for various downstream genetic analyses

DNA samples isolated by QuickGene610L require no further purification. Extracted DNA can be directly applied to genetic analyses studies, including PCR and SNP validation. It simplifies the routine analytical workflow, and results in high throughput processing.

High Purity

The purification process removes proteins and salts producing high quality DNA that can be used directly in most downstream applications.

High Yield

About 50µ g of genome DNA can be extracted from 2ml of whole blood.

Longer DNA samples

The low pressure, gentle separation process employed by the QuickGene produces long DNA molecules up to 97 kbp. Traditional spin-column extraction methods with a centrifuge often yield shorter DNA fragments than QuickGene due to the frequent cleavage of DNA molecules.

The DNA samples are suitable for downstream genetic analyses

The extracted DNA can be applied directly to PCR analysis. It is possible to perform PCR amplification with only a small volume of the high quality DNA produced by the QuickGene.

Additional Benefits

Additional Benefits of the QuickGene-610L include:

Unattended operation (saves labor and time).
6 samples in 12 minutes (faster time to result).
Direct application of extracted nucleic acid to your next procedure (saves labor and time).
High quality and yield (eliminates failed experiments).
AutoGen's superior service and support (gives you peace of mind).
