Uppsala biobanking gDNA purification with MACHEREY-NAGEL´s NucleoSpin 96 Blood on the Hamilton Genomic Starlet
Results
A subset of approximately 1000 U-CAN samples have been used for automated DNA extraction, using a Hamilton Microlab STARlet for aliquotation and a Genomic STARlet from Hamilton for NA extraction running MACHEREY-NAGEL NA Extraction kits (see attached pdf ).
For Uppsala Biobank the sample quality is defined by yield, purity, integrity (degree of fragmentation) and SNP detection as a functional qualification criterion.
