Equipment for NucleoSpin, NucleoFast, and NucleoMag kits	High-Throughput Applications
NucleoSpin kits
NucleoSpin kits based on silica-membrane technology are available in flexible 8-well strip format for varying throughput and in convenient 96-well format for high-throughput nucleic acid purification. NucleoSpin 8/96 kits can be processed by centrifugation or under vacuum. The unique MN Wash Plate prevents the bottom of the NucleoSpin binding strips/plate from being contaminated by ethanolic wash buffers during the washing steps, thus improving the drying of the strips/plate under vacuum and preventing ethanol contamination of the eluted DNA. The risk of cross-contamination is minimized by reduced spraying during filtration and elution steps due to optimized outlets of the NucleoSpin 8-well strips and NucleoSpin 96-well plates. Required hardware Centrifugation: For centrifugation, a microtiterplate centrifuge* is required, which is able to accommodate NucleoSpin strips / plate stacked on a Round-well Block, Square-well Block, or Rack with Tube Strips (bucket height: 85 mm) and reaches accelerations of 5 600 – 6 000 x g. For processing NucleoSpin 8-well strips by centrifugation Starter Set C containing Column Holders C, MN Square-well Blocks, Rack with Tube Strips is additionally required. Vacuum processing: A NucleoVac 96 vacuum manifold is required for processing under vacuum (click here for details). For processing NucleoSpin 8-well strips under vacuum Starter Set A containing Column Holders A and Dummy Strips is required, too.
NucleoFast kits
NucleoFast kits can be processed by centrifugation or under vacuum. For centrifugation, a microtiterplate centrifuge* is required, which is able to accommodate NucleoFast Plates stacked on a suitable waste collection plate, e. g. MN Square-well Block, and reaches accelerations of 4 500 x g. For vacuum processing the NucleoVac 96 Vacuum Manifold or other suitable vacuum manifold is required (click here for details).
NucleoMag kits
For manual processing of NucleoMag kits a suitable magnetic separator is required, e. g. NucleoMag SEP (click here for details).
