Can I use your QIAvac 96 for extraction of DNA using the DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit?
We do not recommend using a vacuum manifold for DNA extraction with the DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit because:
- Viscosity of the lysates varies from sample to sample. Therefore, the wells of the DNeasy 96 plate are at great risk of clogging.
- Use of vacuum manifold would result in incomplete removal of ethanol and salts after washing with Buffer AW2. This will affect the purity and yield of samples.
