Stage 1: Sample extraction and isolation
The challenge
Sample extraction can quickly dominate the morning in NGS workflows with manual tube-to-plate reformatting, multiple magnetic bead wash steps and repetitive pipetting across 96 samples.
INTEGRA automates these labor-intensive, repetitive steps, helping laboratories to reduce hands-on time and improve consistency during NGS sample extraction and isolation.
Simple setup for low to medium throughput
VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipette
Grab the VOYAGER to move multiple samples in parallel, straight from collection tubes to plates. It offers adjustable tip spacing, repeat dispense programs and mixing at the push of a button.

HEATMAG module
The Clean Blood & Tissue DNA Kit works perfectly with the HEATMAG module, a magnetic stand that captures magnetic beads during binding and washing steps. The HEATMAG module also offers integrated heating – up to 65 °C – to enhance and lysis and elution. The Clean Blood & Tissue DNA Kit, combined with the HEATMAG module, is compatible with the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot.
