Explore the potential of automated cancer research technology

If you could design your ideal sample preparation instrument, what would it be like?

Here’s a guess:

It should be able to extract a high concentration of good quality nucleic acids from various samples.
It should automate a huge chunk of your workflow – reduce hands-on bench time, pipetting errors and repetitive movement injuries.
And definitely, it should be easy to use.

We think we have something you’ll like.

What’s your sample type?

FFPE samples

FFPE samples hold valuable cancer biomarker information – but they are precious and hard to work with.

Now you have the tools to conquer these challenges:

Automate DNA or RNA extraction all the way from lysis to elution.
Extract DNA and RNA from exactly the same sample.
Compare genomic and transcriptomic data from the same population of cells.

Get the most from your FFPE samples while making your work truly easy with the EZ2 Connect system. See it in action at the EZ2 Connect virtual demo.

Liquid biopsy

So far, automated methods that can isolate cfDNA from large volumes of serum and plasma have required manual steps resulting in a broken workflow.

That’s why we developed a system to enable you to build easier cfDNA workflows. Starting with sample processing.

Automated cfDNA purification from up to 8 ml of plasma or serum
Prefilled cartridges to ensure standardization and reduce human error
Magnetic bead-based cfDNA extraction
Maximum run time for 8 ml input of 70 minutes

Don’t take our word for it.
