Aurora Biomed has announced the Versa Gene, a liquid-handling workstation that is compatible with various commercially available nucleic acid extraction and purification kits.
The company said the Versa Gene offers high-quality yields of DNA and RNA from diverse samples for downstream genetic applications, solving bottlenecks in high-throughput genomic, diagnostics, and surveillance studies.
The all-in-one system allows the user to carry the isolated nucleic acid through to the PCR plate on one platform.
Its multi-channel head consists of a switchable single-channel and eight-channel pipetting head with a five-channel reagent addition module for accurate pipetting of reagents, mastermix preparation, normalisation, dilution series, cherry picking, and sample addition.
