Personal technical support
Personal application support is available before and after purchasing MACHEREY-NAGEL products. Our automation experts, R&D, and technical support specialists assist with script generation and method adaptation to ensure smooth processing. Please contact us for personal assistance.
Automation-friendly reagents
MACHEREY-NAGEL offers automation friendly reagent chemistry and volumes adapted for RNA, DNA, or protein purification from a broad array of sample matrices. We offer flexibility for protocol modification and formatting, as well as options for silica membrane or magnetic bead based technology.
"When automation makes the right fit with your needs, daily laboratory work changes for the better - routine tasks get easier, results become more accurate and reproducable, and productivity increases significantly."
Main five benefits of automating your genomic workflow
Benefits of automating your workflow
I. Reproducibility and Standardization
Manual pipetting can be tedious and error prone especially in routine and repetitive tasks. An automated method executes each step in the protocol accurately and precisely, whether it is the first run of the day or the hundredth run in the middle of the night. This reliability feature increases reproducibility and implements a higher level of standardization to your workflow.
II. Safe Time and Money
While manual nucleic acid extraction protocols require undivided attention from the user, automation of the same method can provide a walk-away solution that allows the operator to divert that attention to other more meaningful laboratory tasks. Time that would otherwise have been spent on tedious pipetting steps can now be used to write that grant proposal, attend a seminar, or simply have a lunch break. With automation, lab resources are used more efficiently, and the initial investment in a robotic platform can quickly pay off.
III. Personal and Sample Safety
Protect personnel and the samples with automation. Use of a robotic platform reduces contact between the operator and the samples, which is especially important for potential hazardous or infectious materials. Minimizing contact also reduces the risk of cross-contamination and introduction of foreign material to the preps.
IV. Documentation and Data Integrity
Documentation is a key feature in modern research and industrial laboratories. Integrated documentation systems in automated platforms can track each step of your workflow, whether it be sample position, processing time, reagent volumes, or operator interventions. With these automatically generated log files, methods and results become traceable without burdening the operator with manual documentation tasks.
V. Throughput
Increase your daily throughput with automation and run multiple preps in parallel on your automated platform. Established automated methods can be easily adapted or transferred to additional platforms in your lab or to collaborators' platforms to further increase workflow volume. Robotic platforms can also be programmed to run around the clock with minimal intervention, and this advantage increases overall production as well.
