X-Tractor

The X-tractor Gene is designed for routine isolation and purification of nucleic acids from a broad range of sample types, including solid tissue, liquid samples, plants, bacteria, fungi etc. It uses silica membrane bind/elute protocols with vacuum processing and an 8-channel pipetting head for fast, low cost and convenient processing. Once samples are introduced to the system, standard processing is continuous, which means there is no user-intervention required. Eluted product is pure, high molecular weight, and suitable for the most demanding downstream applications.

The X-tractor Gene is a versatile open platform. It can extract DNA from as few as eight or as many as 96 samples and use a wide range of protocols. Corbett Robotics have collaborated with Sigma-Aldrich to produce very low-cost DNA extraction reagents and consolidated protocols that work without modification for most solid and liquid samples, including whole tissue, urine, plants, bacteria etc.

Many other readily available commercial kits can also be used with the X-tractor Gene, including kits from Qiagen, Machery-Nagel, Promega, Invitek, Invitrogen, Ambion, Axygen etc. These kits cover diverse applications including DNA isolation, RNA isolation, virus extraction, post-PCR cleanup etc.
