In combination with the BEXS 12 Ready DNA Bead Kit, the system allows parallel DNA extraction from up to 12 blood samples with a volume of 250 μL each. The purity of the isolated genomic DNA is A260/A280= ~ 1.8 with a yield of 5 – 10 μg DNA depending on the starting material. With our new BEXS 12 Ready Viral DNA/RNA Kit, a completely automated extraction of viral nucleic acids from different clinical sample materials is possible.
