DNA Extraction and Quantification

Marianne Hansen extracting DNA from liver tissue, using the M48 Bio-robotExtraction For DNA extraction from tissue, CIGENE employs a Qiagen M48 Bio-robot; this reliably provides high-quality DNA. We also offer a variety of column and plate-cleanup solutions for preparing DNA from other sources. We do not offer DNA extraction as a stand-alone service, but for users who lack access to DNA extraction facilities, we can offer this in connection with SNP genotyping projects. Please contact us for pricing.

Quantification and Normalization
DNA for small projects is measured using a Nanodrop, for larger projects we offer spectrophotometric and fluorescent DNA quantification in 96 and 384-well formats with a Victor3 plate reader. DNA samples are normalized using our Beckman Biomek-Fx pipetting robot. Please contact us for pricing.
