DiaSorin Blood DNA 200 extraction kits

DiaSorin Arrow Blood DNA 200 extraction assays provide a highly purified DNA preparation, reduce inhibition in downstream analysis and ensure accurate and sensitive confirmation of Factor V Leiden thrombophilia, cystic fibrosis and other genetic disorders.

Molecular testing for genetic mutations, which cause conditions such as Factor V Leiden thrombophilia and cystic fibrosis, provide confirmation of diagnosis and enables carriers of the mutated genes to be identified.  The performance of these molecular tests can be affected by a number of factors, including the quality of the DNA preparation. 

The extraction kits use magnetic bead technology to ensure high yields of highly purified genomic DNA from just 200 µL of whole blood. Used together with the company’s Arrow instrument, it automates the extraction of genomic DNA, which reduces technician hands-on time and increases sample throughput in busy genetic laboratories. The Blood DNA 200 cartridges are simply loaded onto the Arrow instrument for up to 12 patient samples and, in 35 min, a high-yield, high-purity genomic DNA preparation is ready for use in a number of downstream applications.
