Executive Summary
The American Type Culture Collection, ATCC®, routinely extracts genomic DNA from heparinized whole blood using an automated extraction instrument. However, that instrument was prone to operation failures and high repair turnaround times. To solve this problem, ATCC® turned to AutoGen’s FlexSTAR instrument. This change allowed them to develop a better extraction protocol, leading to higher-quality genomic DNA extractions with less hands-on effort and instrument downtime.
