Automated Workstation Pre-NAT II

The Automated Workstation Pre-NAT II (Manufacturer: Revvity, Inc.) allows fully automated high-throughput sample preparation for molecular genetic diagnostics, consisting of nucleic acid extraction and subsequent pipetting of the PCRs. In this way, up to 96 primary samples from various source materials are prepared cost-efficiently, safely and without any manual intermediate steps for subsequent PCR-based tests, e.g. EUROArray and EURORealTime.

After automated barcode identification of the sample tubes, the cell material is lysed and the nucleic acids are extracted by means of magnetic particles. These are subsequently transferred one after another into the automatically dispensed reagents by magnetisable metal rods. Afterwards, the liquid-handling module of the Pre-NAT II automatically pipettes the prompted PCRs using the extracted nucleic acids, the positive and negative controls as well as the PCR reagents, which are stored refrigerated in the instrument.

  • Fully automated instrument for nucleic acid extraction for up to 96 primary samples and preparation of up to 288 PCRs per run
  • Various further applications of the PCRs possible, e. g. for EUROArrays and EURORealTime tests
  • Established nucleic acid extraction system based on magnetic particles
  • Precise pipetting, using disposable filter tips as well as efficient and resourcesaving dispensing of extraction reagents
  • Loading of different types of primary sample tubes
  • User-friendly instrument software with clear graphic visualisation of all processes and run times
