QIAsymphony DSP DNA Kits

• Purification of DNA from a broad range of sample types
• Novel, prefilled reagent cartridges for ease of use
• High reproducibility through standardized processing
• Bar codes enable tracking of samples and reagents
• For in vitro diagnostic use

QIAsymphony DSP DNA Kits, in combination with the QIAsymphony SP, enable automated total DNA purification from human whole blood, buffy coat, tissues and FFPE tissues, as well as viral DNA from human whole blood for in vitro diagnostic use. Kits are available in mini and midi formats for sample volumes ranging from 200 µl to 1000 µl. For tissue and FFPE tissue protocols, manual sample pretreatment is required. Optimized protocols provide high yields of pure DNA, and flexible elution volumes allow DNA concentration to be easily optimized for each downstream application. Novel, prefilled reagent cartridges reduce setup time and minimize manual handling. Bar code reading enables full tracking of reagents.

QIAsymphony DSP DNA Kits can be used to purify total DNA from human whole blood, buffy coat, tissues and FFPE tissues, as well as viral DNA from human whole blood.

QIAsymphony DSP DNA Kits combine the speed and efficiency of silica-based purification of DNA with the convenient handling of magnetic particles (see figure " Schematic of the QIAsymphony SP principle"). Innovative, ready-to-run reagent cartridges are prefilled with all reagents required for the purification procedure and are automatically opened by the QIAsymphony SP, which helps to minimize the risk of environmental contamination (see figure " Prefilled, sealed reagent cartridges"). Worktable setup is rapid, which saves you valuable time. Simply place up to 2 reagent cartridges in the consumables drawer. The reagent cartridges can be either from the same kit or from different kits, enabling different purification procedures to be performed within the same run of 96 samples. Reagent volumes only for the selected number of samples are used, giving you complete cost control.

The purification procedure is designed to ensure safe and reproducible handling of potentially infectious samples, and comprises 4 steps: lyse, bind, wash, and elute (see figure "QIAsymphony DSP DNA procedure"). Optimized protocols provide high quality nucleic acids with efficient removal of proteins, nucleases, and other impurities. Nucleic acids purified with QIAsymphony DSP DNA Kits are ready for direct use in downstream applications such as amplification. The user can choose between different elution volumes.
