QIAsprint Connect System: Automated magnetic bead extraction

Benchtop instrument for automated magnetic particle based nucleic acid purification from up to 2x96 samples in parallel using QIAsprint extraction chemistry; includes required instrument accessories, and 1-year warranty on parts and labor.

Process up to192 samples of DNA/RNA per run to meet the demands of high-throughput labs

Purify DNA/RNA even from complex matrices

Customize protocols for specialized applications using the modular kit system

Prevent cross-contamination in sensitive assays with built-in decontamination

Monitor runs remotely via QIAsphere to maximize walk-away efficiency

Cut plastic consumable waste by up to 50% compared to standard consumables in the market through our novel thin-walled plates

The QIAsprint Connect is a magnetic bead extraction system designed for automated high-throughput nucleic acid purification for up to 2 x 96 samples. The system features two plate hotels and integrated heating and cooling capabilities to support efficient lysis and overnight runs. With a compact benchtop footprint, the instrument can fit seamlessly into high-throughput labs. QIAsprint Connect features 21 CFR Part 11 readiness, secure user management, electronic records and full audit traceability.

Researchers can run QIAGEN-validated protocols or customize their own via an intuitive touchscreen interface that makes it easy to use, even for new users. The instrument supports diverse sample types including cells, tissue, whole blood, plant material and microbiome samples through the modular kit system. This allows for maximum flexibility for different applications (see Applications).

A novel consumable concept reduces plastic use by up to 50% and packaging volume by 40% compared to standard consumables in the market helping labs scale more sustainably without compromising performance.

For labs under pressure to increase throughput, control waste and maintain flexibility, QIAsprint Connect brings performance, usability and sustainability together in one compact platform (see

Principle

QIAsprint Connect uses an automated magnetic rod technology to purify nucleic acids with precision and consistency at high-throughput levels. A magnetically driven rod enclosed in a protective prep cover is lowered into each sample well, capturing magnetic particles bound to nucleic acids and lifting them from the solution (see
