Nucleic Acid Extraction Systems

ADNap 20 is a fully automated bench top system for high-throughput extraction of nucleic acids from a variety of sources.

Nucleic Acid Extraction Systems


Nucleic acid extraction  is an increasingly important tool for the molecular biology applications. Before development of new technologies for extraction, nucleic acid separation had been a time- and work-consuming process, often limited by small yields and low purities of the separation products, and not suited for automation and up-scaling. During the last decades, magnetic beads (particles) were developed that could help to overcome the existing challenges. Together with an appropriate buffer system, they allow for the efficient and fast purification of the DNA/RNA directly from crude cell extracts. Aurora as a leading company for lab automation systems also have developed technologies for magnetic based nucleic acid extraction. VERSA and ADNAP extraction systems are two generations of instruments that work based on Magnetic bead RNA/DNA extraction method and helps you to automate your workflow.

Simply refer to the comparison table to find out which of the automated extraction systems works best for you.

Benefits of Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction Workstations

Aurora’s VERSA and ADNAP 20 series saved clients’ valuable time by eliminating several or all manual steps. These instruments reduce processing time and also decrease human errors which enhances the reproducibility of the results. Results obtained from VERSA and ADNAP nucleic acid extractors are consistent in performance among different validation run by our clients.

Plug-and-play setup adjustable protocol libraries

Automated Purification Kits & Consumables

Both series of Aurora’s extraction systems work based on Magnetic bead RNA/DNA extraction. Magnetic bead-based nucleic acid extraction kits are also provided by Aurora and various vendors utilize small paramagnetic beads that strongly but reversibly bind to RNA/DNA resulting in high and consistent RNA/DNA yields and purity. Magnetic beads are more flexible with using different sample types such as the whole blood, cells, etc.

Aurora’s VERSA is compatible with most of the commercially available kits such as NucleoMag kits (Macherey-NAGEL), MagPure kits (Angen Biotech), MagMAX kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Aurora’s ADNAP series similarly is also compatible with most of the commercially available kits!
