The need to increase accuracy and speed, and to minimize human intervention is driving the need for automated nucleic acid extraction instrument.

When choosing an automated nucleic acid extraction instrument, one should consider the following points:

• Validate both the instrument and nucleic acid extraction kit for compatibility and performance to derive the best quality, yield and consistency for your sample types, as well as minimizes risk for cross- contamination

• Choose the instrument of the right size and throughput to fit your lab workspace and sample volume

• Provide efficient and flexible workflow system that truly minimizes human intervention, saves time and allows for both pre-programmed and customizable protocols

• Consider the cost of extraction in terms of cost of both the instrument and the kits as well as its suitability for long-term use and its flexibility of throughput for more sample volume
