Principle of Method
The AltoStar® Purification Kit 1.5 is intended for the automated isolation and purification of RNA and DNA from specified biological specimens for in vitro diagnostic purposes in conjunction with the AltoStar® AM16, the AltoStar® Internal Control 1.5 and altona Diagnostics kits and reagents specified for use with the AltoStar® Purification Kit 1.5. The AltoStar® Purification Kit 1.5 is based on magnetic bead technology, utilizing silica coated magnetic particles, which can bind and release nucleic acids under specific conditions.
The purification procedure comprises 3 automated steps on the AltoStar® AM16 (see Fig.).
1. In the first step nucleic acids are released by chemical and mechanical lysis under chaotropic high salt conditions. The conditions stabilize the nucleic acids in solution and enable their binding to the magnetic silica beads. The AltoStar® Internal Control 1.5 is automatically added by the AltoStar® AM16.
2. In the following washing steps different wash buffers are used to remove proteins and other impurities.
3. Finally the nucleic acids are released from the magnetic beads with an elution buffer and transferred to the eluate plate.
