This document introduces the Agilent gDNA Isolation Workstation, which can efficiently extract DNA and can process up to 10 microplates at a time. The processing time for each microplate is approximately 10 minutes.
The document describes an automated workflow for isolating genomic DNA (gDNA) from up to 10 microplates simultaneously. The process utilizes the Agilent Bravo Automated Liquid Handling Platform, BenchCel Microplate Handling Workstation, and PlateLoc Thermal Microplate Sealer with the Invitrogen ChargeSwitch EasyPlex gDNA kit.
The protocol details a step-by-step procedure involving reagent dispensing, mixing, incubation, washing, and sealing. The estimated processing time is approximately 10 minutes per microplate, excluding incubation times. The system operates using Agilent VWorks Automation Control software to manage the liquid handling steps.
Up to 10 microplates can be processed in one run without user intervention.
Microplate processing time is approximately 10 minutes per microplate, excluding incubation times.
The sample must be incubated for 30 minutes.
