Qiagen QIAcube Automated Sample Preparation System

This unit

The innovative QIAcube controls integrated components including a centrifuge, heated shaker, pipetting system and robotic gripper. This enables the QIAcube to fully automate more than 40 QIAGEN spin column kits. The QIAcube comes preinstalled with a variety of protocols for purification of RNA, genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, viral nucleic acids and proteins, plus DNA and RNA cleanup. All standard protocols in the expanding range can also be downloaded for free. In addition, custom protocols tailored to your specific application requirements can also be requested. The QIAcube is well suited for academic research laboratories and pharmaceutical, biotechnology and biomedical research laboratories performing applications such as: Sequencing / sequencing analysis Gene expression analysis genotyping proteomics Centrifuge: 12,000 x g maximum, swing-out rotor with 12 positions, maximum 45° Humidity: Relative humidity of 10-75% (non-condensing) Instrument dimensions: 650 x 620 x 570 mm Operating temperature: 18 – 28 ° C Pipetting system: Syringe size 1 ml, pipetting range 5-900 μl Samples per run: 1-12 samples per run Shaker: Speed 100-2000 rpm, amplitude 2 mm, heating range room temperature to 70°C, ramp time of <5 min from room temperature to 55°C (± 3°C) Weight: 70.5 kg New reagents were recently (2023) purchased and are included.
