HMW DNA extraction
Automated High Molecular Weight DNA extraction for Archiving and Long Read Sequencing
Extraction of High Molecular Weight (HMW) DNA (> 100 kb) is currently often performed with manual, time-consuming, and costly methods. As manual workflows are subject to risk of human error and confirm differences in operator handling or laboratory conditions, more time and effort are often required to confirm experimental findings. In worst case scenarios, integrity of samples may compromised.

HMW DNA extraction
The chemagic™ nucleic acid purification systems automate the extraction of HMW DNA, improving consistency of results while ensuring sample integrity at higher throughputs and faster turnaround times. Compared with other automated platforms, the chemagic system provided higher DNA yields of good purity alongside a significantly greater HMW DNA extraction efficiency (refer Application Note). The chemagic systems have been used successfully in conjunction with long read sequencing technologies from Oxford Nanopore2,4,5,6 and PacBio1,3. The greater HMW DNA extraction efficiency afforded by chemagic technology also makes it the choice of many biobanks worldwide that require long-term storage stability for archiving and a nucleic acid quality that can be applied to diverse molecular assays2,7,8.

March 27th, 2024 - Available on demand
In this talk, Karine Auribault from Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou in Paris will share her experience implementing an automated DNA extraction method with the chemagic 360 instrument in the hospital’s routine genetic testing research workflows. Data showcasing various assays such as multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), Sanger sequencing, NGS including targeted sequencing, multiplex PCR, and long read sequencing with Oxford Nanopore will be shared.
Webinars
April 18th, 2024 - Available on demand
Here, Emily Farrow from Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas will share her experiences in clinical research where laboratories often utilize several different assays in their testing process. Particularly in pediatrics, leveraging a single high throughput DNA isolation method is critical to enabling testing and method development. This webinar will discuss the implementation of an automated DNA isolation protocol; DNA quality and quantity metrics, and the impact on downstream assays, such as long read NGS.

Reliable partner for population genetic cohort studies in Biobanking
Drawing on extensive expertise in high-throughput extractions across diverse sample types such as blood, buffy coat, swabs, and saliva, we have established a global presence in biobanking. Our chemagic nucleic acid isolation ensures archive-quality specimens, and our ability to automate entire workflows, from primary sample handling to downstream QC and assay setup, has positioned us as a trusted collaborator in various population genetic cohort studies.
Our contributions extend to notable initiatives like the "All of Us Research Programme" from the Mayo Clinic7, the German National Cohort/NAKO Gesundheitsstudie8, and the British Initiative, including the 100,000 Genomes Project, among others.
