How can we get our BioRobot EZ1 upgraded when new protocols are launched?
Protocols for nucleic acid purification are supplied on pre-programmed EZ1 Protocol Cards. These protocols provide both on-screen instructions for the operator and operating commands for the workstation. The range of kits and protocols for the EZ1 is continuously expanding to allow nucleic acid purification from a wide range of sample types. Please browse our Supplementary Protocol Section to find specialized EZ1 protocols for a large variety of clinical sample types, in addition to the standard sample types covered in our EZ1 handbooks.

EZ1 DNA Investigator Cards
EZ1 DNA Investigator Cards are preprogrammed with protocols for purification of DNA from forensic and human-identity samples using the EZ1 DNA Investigator Kit on the EZ1 Advanced, EZ1 Advanced XL or BioRobot EZ1.
EZ1 Instrument Test Cards
EZ1 Instrument Test Cards provide protocols designed to evaluate the pipetting accuracy of EZ1 instruments. The EZ1 Advanced XL, EZ1 Advanced or BioRobot EZ1 pipets either 100 µl or 500 µl of water from one set of tubes to another. Pipetting accuracy should be within defined specifications of ±8 µl for 100 µl, corresponding to pipetted volumes in the range of 92–108 µl and ±40 µl for 500 µl, corresponding to pipetted volumes in the range of 460–540 µl. An additional protocol on EZ1 Instrument Test Cards describes how to test the tip adapters for liquid leaks.
