The Thermo Scientific™ KingFisher™ Presto Sample Purification System integrated with the Hamilton Microlab® NIMBUS® automated liquid handler for cell-free DNA extraction from plasma and DNA/RNA from FFPE tissue combines two established technologies, magnetic bead transfer and liquid handling, providing reproducible results while virtually eliminating hands-on time for sample purification. The modular structure allows each component to work efficiently, so you get the benefits of magnetic-bead based purification, such as reduced cross contamination and consistent NA recovery, in addition to the convenience of an automated liquid handler.
