What sample volumes can be used with the tissue HC and LC protocols on the QIAsymphony SP?

QIAsymphony DNA Kits enable automated purification of DNA from a broad range of sample types on the QIAsymphony SP with sample volumes of up to 1 ml. Genomic DNA can be purified from human whole blood, buffy coat, human and animal tissues, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE), cultured cells, and bacterial cultures. The QIAsymphony DNA Mini Kit also enables purification of viral nucleic acids from human whole blood. Optimized protocols provide high yields of pure DNA, and flexible elution volumes allow DNA concentration to be easily optimized for each downstream application. Novel, prefilled reagent cartridges reduce setup time and minimize manual handling. Bar code reading enables full tracking of reagents.

The QIAsymphony SP is a versatile nucleic acid purification instrument providing high-quality nucleic acids compatible with with most common downstream assay technologies, such as real-time PCR, digital PCR, and next generation sequencing (NGS). The large range of a dedicated QIAsymphony kits enables optimized purification of genomic DNA, cell-free circulating DNA, RNA, bacterial and viral nucleic acids from a wide range of starting materials. The QIAsymphony AS extends the capabilities of the QIAsymphony SP by integrating automated PCR assay setup, which, in combination with the Rotor-Gene Q and QIAGEN real-time and end-point PCR kits, enables you to optimize your PCR workflow and maximize your efficiency.
