Fully Automated Genomic DNA Isolation from Blood on the MICROLAB® STAR

Reliability and process control are major issues for automated genomic DNA isolation from blood samples. This application note demonstrates the automated solution from HAMILTON on the MICROLAB® STAR liquid handling robot using NucleoSpin® technology from MACHEREY-NAGEL, which features blood clot detection during aspiration and a clog check of the filtration plates after each vacuum step.
