Nucleic Acid Isolation System

Fuji QuickGene-810 is an ideal system to isolate DNA/RNA from whole blood, tissue samples, cultured cells, and blood cells.  Various isolation kits are available for your studies.  The system uses a porous, highly adsorptive membrane.  It is only 80µm thick, making it incomparably thinner than conventional glass fibers.

Easy RNA Extraction

RNA is much more unstable than DNA, and ribonuclease in the atmosphere or from the operator during the extraction process has sometimes resulted in its degradation.  But there is no risk at all of contamination when you use QuickGene-810 because the extraction process occurs automatically in a sealed, enclosed space.

High purity and high yield without centrifugation

Three pressurizing stages - binding, washing, and elution - occur automatically in the unit.  Because of the outstanding adsorptive and desorptive properties of the membrane, high-purity nucleic acid can be obtained easily at low pressure without any complex processes such as centrifugation.
