What problem does Redbud NA1 solve?

Traditional lab automation relies on robotic liquid handlers. They’re expensive, delicate instruments. Redbud NA1 uses robust microfluidics to automate sample prep specifically for low- to medium-throughput applications. It’s the simplest, most robust sample prep platform ever designed.



I have a sample prep kit that could benefit from automation. What capabilities does Redbud have to port my kit to Redbud NA1?

Redbud Labs developed Redbud NA1 entirely in house. We have an experienced team of assay and system engineers, with BSL-2 wet labs, rapid prototyping, and software development.



What is the Redbud Partnership Program?

Redbud NA1 is a new automation platform with countless potential applications. We’re partnering with firms that have sample prep kits that could benefit from automation, and firms that offer systems for downstream sample processing and analysis that pair well with our nucleic acid extraction solution.



How is Redbud NA1 manufactured?

Redbud NA1 is manufactured by world-class instrument and consumables CMOs. Redbud Labs’ facilities in Research Triangle Park, NC are certified ISO 9001 for manufacturing of STR™BeadPak chips in Redbud NA1 cartridges.



What kind of kits work on the Redbud NA1 platform?

Redbud NA1 is built with STR™BeadPak, a powerful new chip that maximizes the performance of magnetic bead reactions in microfluidic cartridges. BeadPak works with virtually any magnetic bead, and with a wide range of analytes, from nucleic acids to proteins.
