Purification kits
Nucleic acid extraction that's so streamlined, it's sample prep you'll look forward to.
Pre-aliquoted reagents mean less pipetting, and half the hands-on time of other automated extractors. Just mix, load, and press Start. The microfluidic cartridge safely stores the waste. Retrieve your nucleic acids in a standard tube strip.
Find the kit that's right for your application. Available to purchase online, for Redbud NA1 owners only.
The details
Gold-standard extraction, meet microfluidic automation.
Redbud NA1 Purification kits use microfluidic cartridges to automate magnetic bead workflows, enabling a streamlined experience that will change how you think about nucleic acid extraction.
Goes anywhere. With a flexible workflow and room temperature storage, Redbud NA1 Purification kits can move to meet your workflows. Run automated extractions inside a biosafety cabinet, on the benchtop, or wherever your laboratory needs it.
Anyone can use it. Take advantage of our training videos and user-developed protocols. Within 15 minutes, your team can self-train to run extractions with confidence. Make your molecular workflows more consistent and your workforce more resilient.
Shortest hands-on time. Mix your sample with the pre-aliquoted buffers, load the mixture onto the microfluidic cartridge, and insert it into the instrument. There's nothing more to do: just press Start. Extractions on Redbud NA1 take half the hands-on time of other automated extractors.
Gold standard chemistry. Redbud NA1 automates magnetic bead workflows in a microfluidic cartridge. It's a streamlined version of the same gold-standard chemistries you already trust to prepare your nucleic acids for PCR or sequencing.
No maintenance. No reagent bottles or pipette tips to replace. Waste stays in the sealed microfluidic cartridge for biosafe disposal. With no sample- or reagent-contacting parts in the instrument, you can just wipe it down and walk away.

The details
Sample prep you will look forward to.
Redbud NA1 is built on microfluidics, not bulky and finicky robots, enabling a streamlined experience that will change how you think about nucleic acid extraction.
Goes anywhere. Weighing under 24 pounds (11 kg), Redbud NA1 can move to meet your workflows. It even has a built-in handle. Run automated extractions inside a biosafety cabinet, on the benchtop, or wherever your laboratory needs it.
Anyone can use it. Plug it in, turn it on, and you're ready to run. With Redbud NA1, your team can self-train to run extractions in under 15 minutes. Make your molecular workflows more consistent and your workforce more resilient.
Shortest hands-on time. With no reagents to aliquot, nothing on the instrument to set up, and no software menus to navigate, extractions on Redbud NA1 take half the hands-on time of other automated extractors. Just load the cartridge and press Start.
Gold-standard chemistry. Redbud NA1 automates magnetic bead workflows in a microfluidic cartridge. It's a streamlined version of the same gold-standard chemistries you already trust to prepare your nucleic acids for PCR or sequencing.
