What is EZ1 Advanced XL?
What is EZ1 Advanced XL?
The EZ1 Advanced XL is a desktop instrument designed to perform automated isolation and purification of nucleic acids, such as eukaryotic DNA, mRNA, total RNA as well as viral RNA and DNA. The system is based on proven magnetic bead technology and can process up to 14 samples in each run in 20 minutes.
How many samples can a Qiagen EZ1 process in one run?
14 samples
The EZ1 instrument performs all steps of the sample preparation procedure, and the procedure can be scaled up or down, allowing purification from varying amounts of starting material. Up to 14 samples are processed in a single run.
How many samples can a Qiagen QIAcube process in one run?
12 samples
The QIAcube is designed for fully automated processing of up to 12 samples using QIAGEN spin-column kits.
How much does a QIAcube cost?
Cost Analysis (per Season Seferyn, MSFS) The instrument itself costs $17,802. In addition, it costs about $24.79 to set up the QIAcube® (Table 2), as a certain level of reagent is required in the reagent bottles, and specialized plastics are also needed.
How does the QIAcube work?
QIAcube performs fully automated purification of DNA, RNA or proteins using QIAGEN spin-column kits, and can purify up to 12 samples per run. It follows a simple lyse, bind, wash and elute procedure and eliminates all manual steps usually necessary for purification.
What does a QIAcube do?
The QIAcube enables purification of highly pure nucleic acids or proteins using a simple lyse, bind, wash, elute procedure (see flowchart). Over 40 QIAGEN spin-column kits can be automated on the QIAcube.
What is the QIAcube?
The QIAcube is a closed architecture liquid handling platform that is capable of almost fully automating the processing of 12 samples per run. The platform consists of tube racks, places for reagents, 12 sample holder which is also a shaker/heater combo, robotic gripper arm and a swing bucket rotor centrifuge.
What happens after DNA extraction?
After separation of DNA from aqueous solution, it is then rinsed with alcohol, a process known as purification. Purification removes all the remaining cellular debris and unwanted material. Once the DNA is completely purified, it is usually dissolved in water again for convenient storage and handling.
What DNA extraction is used for?
The ability to extract DNA is of primary importance to studying the genetic causes of disease and for the development of diagnostics and drugs. It is also essential for carrying out forensic science, sequencing genomes, detecting bacteria and viruses in the environment and for determining paternity.

What is an EZ1 kit used for?
The provided EZ1 Kits are available for a large number of applications used in forensics, biomedical research, molecular diagnostics and gene expression analysis.
What is the EZ1 DNA investigator kit used for?
The EZ1 DNA Investigator Kit is optimized for extraction and purification of DNA from a variety of forensic type samples. The EZ1 Advanced XL workstation (EZ1) was designed to purify nucleic acids from a variety of sample types while minimizing sample handling and contamination risks.
