oKtopure: automated sbeadex DNA extraction system

The oKtopure™ is a robot platform which combines standardised high-throughput DNA extraction from plant tissue with the proprietary sbeadex™ magentic bead based extraction chemistry.
Key to the delivery of consistently high quality and high yield DNA preparations from the oKtopure is its ability to bind and hold the magnetic beads, and hence the DNA in place whilst transferring the buffers required for washing, binding and elution steps. The final aqueous wash used in the sbeadex extraction protocols enables the delivery of nucleic preparations ideal for downstream applications such as SNP genotyping and NGS and Sanger sequencing.
The availability of the offline tip wash station is a key feature of the oKtopure, and this offers savings on consumables of up to 50% through the re-use of tips across up to 40 DNA extraction runs. Watch the video to find out more...
