Reduced sample handling and accelerated processing
Parallel sample processing
Easy cleaning of internal components
QIAvac 96 is designed for efficient parallel vacuum-driven processing of QIAGEN 96-well plates. For optimal results, it is recommended to use it together with the QIAvac Connecting system and a Vacuum Pump.
Vacuum manifold for processing QIAGEN 96-well plates: includes QIAvac 96 Top Plate, Base, Waste Tray, Plate Holder, Rack of Collection Microtubes (1.2 ml)
Principle
The 96-well purification module sits in the QIAvac 96 top plate, allowing samples and buffers to be efficiently drawn through the wells. The QIAvac 96 base holds an additional module, a waste tray, or collection vessels such as Collection Microtubes or a 96-well microplate during processing. This allows samples to be drawn from one module to the next, avoiding time-consuming labeling and transfer steps.
Procedure
For procedures, please refer to the handling guidelines in the corresponding handbook.
Applications
The QIAvac 96 is ideally suited for use with the following kits:
For 4 x 96 total and cytoplasmic RNA preps: 4 RNeasy 96 Plates, Elution Microtubes CL, Caps, S-Blocks, AirPore Tape Sheets, RNase-Free Reagents and Buffers
For 4 x 96 plasmid minipreps: TurboFilter 96 Plates, Plasmid Plus 96 Plates, Buffers, Reagents, Flat-Bottom Blocks, S-Blocks, and Elution Microtubes; requires use of QIAvac 96 and Elution Microtube Adapter (available from QIAGEN Technical Service), or a centrifugation system suitable for 96-well blocks.
