General Description
The EZ1 Advanced performs fully automated nucleic acid
purification from up to 6 samples using magnetic particles.
The automated steps include:
The user inserts an EZ1 Advanced Card containing
protocol(s) into the EZ1 Advanced. After starting worktable
setup using the control panel and bar code reader, the user
loads samples, reagent cartridges, filter-tips in tip holders,
and elution tubes onto the EZ1 Advanced worktable.
The user then closes the EZ1Advanced door and starts the
protocol. The door locks automatically at the start of the
protocol. The protocol provides the necessary instructions for
the EZ1 Advanced to carry out automated nucleic acid
purification.
The aspiration and dispensing of samples and reagents and
the separation of magnetic particles are performed by the
6-channel pipettor head. The temperature of samples is
regulated by a heating system.
