Automated DNA and RNA isolation for cancer research

An easy start for cancer research samples

If you could design your ideal sample preparation instrument, what would it be like?

Here’s a guess:

It should be able to extract a high concentration of good quality nucleic acids from various samples.
It should automate a huge chunk of your workflow – reduce hands-on bench time, pipetting errors and repetitive movement injuries.
And definitely, it should be easy to use.

We think we have something you’ll like.

What’s your sample type?

FFPE samples

FFPE samples hold valuable cancer biomarker information – but they are precious and hard to work with.

Now you have the tools to conquer these challenges:

Automate DNA or RNA extraction all the way from lysis to elution.
Extract DNA and RNA from exactly the same sample.
Compare genomic and transcriptomic data from the same population of cells.

Get the most from your FFPE samples while making your work truly easy with the EZ2 Connect system. See it in action at the EZ2 Connect virtual demo.

Process FFPE samples with one manual step

Extract DNA or RNA from your FFPE samples with just one manual pretreatment step.

Extract both DNA and RNA from the same FFPE sample, simultaneously

It’s possible with the EZ2 AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Kit.

Go further with dPCR and NGS

Digital is the new absolute

Once you have eluted your nucleic acids from the EZ2 Connect, it is ready for analysis. By partitioning your sample into a large number of individual reactions, digital PCR makes it surprisingly easy to detect the rare positives you are looking for.
