Bode Technology has been using QIAGEN extraction procedures since 2005. With casework volumes increasing and turnaround times decreasing, the need for a flexible high-throughput extraction solution was evident. Bode has performed several optimization studies using the QIAsymphony SP to increase throughput while maintaining or increasing the quality of resulting data. This presentation will cover the use of different lysis volumes and elution volumes, TopElute Fluid, and stability studies for adding flexibility to standard operating procedures. In addition, process flow will be discussed, demonstrating how to optimize QIAsymphony SP functionality in a high-throughput setting.
