Description

Efficient extraction of nucleic acids from dried blood spot (DBS) cards

The BIOBASE Automatic Nucleic Acid Extractor for Blood Spot Samples specializes in extracting high-quality DNA/RNA from dried blood spots used in newborn screening, infectious disease monitoring, and remote sampling programs. Its optimized lysis protocol penetrates filter card fibers effectively, while magnetic-bead–based purification ensures consistent yield from small sample volumes. Ideal for screening laboratories and biobanks, this system supports streamlined and contamination-controlled processing of DBS cards.

Key Features & Technical Highlights:
• Tailored DBS extraction workflow — recovers nucleic acids from dried blood spots efficiently
• High sensitivity — maximizes yield from low-volume or degraded samples
• Automated bead-based purification — ensures consistent, reproducible output
• Minimal sample handling — reduces contamination and operator variability
• Suitable for screening and biobanking — ideal for neonatal and epidemiological programs

Workflow & Clinical Use:
Streamlines dried blood spot nucleic acid recovery for newborn screening, epidemiological surveillance, and genetic testing workflows.
