QIAprep 96 TurboPlates and TurboFilter 96 Plates aredesigned for isolation of up to 20 g high-purity plasmid or cosmid DNA for use in routine molecular biology applications such as sequencing, cloning, and PCR. The QIAprep 96 Turbo procedure is performed entirely in 96-well format, reducing sample handling to a minimum.
Efficient High-Throughput FiltrationTurboFilter 96 Plates streamline sample processing with rapid, simultaneous filtration across 96 wells. The 0.22 m membrane ensures particulates are efficiently removed, protecting downstream applications and nucleic acid extractions from contaminants. Disposable design eliminates cross-contamination risks between batches.
Broad Compatibility with Laboratory SystemsEngineered for Qiagen liquid handling platforms and standard 96-well centrifuge rotors, TurboFilter Plates integrate smoothly into existing automation protocols and manual workflows. Their clear, polypropylene structure and standard sizing simplify transfer and adaptation to a variety of lab environments.
Optimal for Molecular Biology ApplicationsTurboFilter 96 Plates are ideal for sample clarification prior to nucleic acid extraction, enabling cleaner, more reliable analysis. The design is tailored for high sample volumes and routine processing demands in research, diagnostics, and clinical laboratories.
FAQ's of Qiagen TurboFilter 96 Plates (96):
Q: How are Qiagen TurboFilter 96 Plates used in laboratory workflows?
A: These plates are used for clarifying samples by removing particulates prior to nucleic acid extraction. Place the samples into each well, centrifuge using a compatible rotor or automation platform, and collect the filtrate for downstream molecular biology protocols.
Q: What types of samples can be processed with the TurboFilter 96 Plates?
A: The plates are suitable for a variety of biological and clinical fluid samples that require particulate removal before nucleic acid extraction or other analysis, including blood, serum, cell lysates, and other laboratory-prepared solutions.
Q: When should TurboFilter 96 Plates be utilized during sample preparation?
A: TurboFilter plates are best employed immediately before nucleic acid extraction or other applications that require clean, particulate-free samples. This ensures that downstream assays are not compromised by debris or contaminants.
Q: Where can Qiagen TurboFilter 96 Plates be integrated within lab operations?
A: These plates can be fitted into any workflow requiring filtration within a standard 96-well plate setup, including high-throughput sample processing platforms, automated liquid handling systems, and compatible centrifuge rotors found in molecular biology and clinical labs.
Q: What is the process for filtering samples with these plates?
A: Add up to 350 l of sample to each well, cover if required, then centrifuge using a standard 96-well plate rotor. The 0.22 m membrane efficiently separates particulates, and the clarified filtrate is collected in a compatible receiver plate for further processing.
Q: Can TurboFilter 96 Plates be used with automation platforms?
A: Yes, they are designed for compatibility with Qiagen automated liquid handling systems as well as manual processes, making them versatile for both automated and manual high-throughput workflows.
Q: What benefits do TurboFilter 96 Plates offer over traditional filtration methods?
A: These plates enhance efficiency and consistency by enabling the simultaneous processing of 96 samples, reducing hands-on time, minimizing contamination, and fitting seamlessly into high-throughput and automated laboratory settings.
