Overview

BioChain’s AnaPrep system is a fully automated nucleic acid extraction platform that is efficient, effective and economical. Based on the latest magnetic bead technology, AnaPrep is easy to use with three simple steps: load samples, run pre-programmed protocols, and collect purified samples. The end result is reproducible high quality nucleic acids from a wide range of starting materials that are ready for a variety of downstream applications.

Features/ Benefits:

• Automated processing of 1 to up to 24 samples with pre-programmed protocols
• Consistent high purity nucleic acid using reliable reagents and methods
• Saves time and labor with pre-filled reagent cartridges and disposables
• Flexible design for processing customized sample numbers and elution volume (50-300ul).
• For research use only in the US, manufactured under GMP, ISO13485, and CE marking
• Minimizes contamination risks with unidirectional sample head and built-in UV lamp
• Versatile system enables purification from various sample sources and the products are suitable for many downstream applications
• Easy to Use and Error-free with simple steps, fool-proof design, and barcode reader
• Conserves space with an all-in-one, compact instrument 

Principle

The efficiency of AnaPrep stems from making the extraction process easy. 

AnaPrep combines the latest magnetic bead separation technique with strict quality control systems for reagents and liquid handling to obtain pure extraction. Researchers save time, labor, and avoid mistakes by using pre-filled reagent cartridges and disposable plastics. The purification process is as fast as 40 minutes for 1-12 or 24 samples. 

With an integrated processing unit that carries out the preloaded protocols, AnaPrep eliminates the requirement for an external computer. AnaPrep comes with a barcode reader enabling quick selection of protocols. The seamless automation provides the user the ability to simply place the samples in the machine, select a pre-programmed protocol, walk away, and let the machine carry out the tedious steps required for extraction. All processing procedures are done by the instrument, from piercing the reagent cartridge to eluting the pure nucleic acid. Using the machine is easy and does not require training in automation. 

Specimen Application 

Versatility in any system affords users the resources to expand their work and AnaPrep is such a system. DNA from broad sample sources, such as blood, tissue, and FFPE have been successfully purified with AnaPrep extraction kits. The purified nucleic acids are immediately suitable for a broad range of downstream applications.

AnaPrep System is able to purify nucleic acid from the following biospecimen:

• Whole blood 
• FFPE
• Saliva
• Stool
• Serum 
• Tissue
• CSF
• Plasma
• Cell
• Urine
• Buffy Coat
• Swab
• Sputum 

Downstream Applications

• PCR
• qPCR
• Next generation sequencing
• Restriction enzyme digestion
• Hybridization
• SNP analysis
• Genotyping
• NAT, oncology, forensics, food inspection, GMO
• Molecular diagnosis (for applications sufficient with CE marking, or in LDT). For research use only in the US.
