Are you tired of dealing with the QIAxtractor silicone mat? Would you like access to improved nucleic acid purification chemistry? Do you want to extend your application range? We have great news for all QIAxtractor users — now you can upgrade your QIAxtractor instrument and start taking advantage of new features and benefits!

With the new QIAcube HT system, we have simplified and improved mid- to high-throughput nucleic acid purification. QIAxtractor users can very easily upgrade their existing instruments and get the same benefits of this new system. Dedicated QIAcube HT purification kits and plasticware increase reliability and convenience and provide the same high-quality results as other trusted QIAGEN purification technologies. Now you can quickly and easily purify DNA, RNA, and miRNA from almost any type of sample — including cells, tissues, bacteria, viruses, and food material. Find out more below!
Upgrading your QIAxtractor instrument
To upgrade your existing QIAxtractor instrument for processing dedicated QIAcube HT purification kits, you must:
