Abstract

It is becoming standard procedure to introduce automatization in laboratories which employ molecular biology for the purpose of medical diagnostics. This paper presents one of the currently available devices for automatic isolation of nucleic acids. The paper describes the molecular principles of isolation used in NucliSens easyMag (bioMerieux), the extractor itself and examples of application to routine diagnostics as based on our own experience and literature. The advantages of the device as well as difficulties that users may encounter are discussed. Application of this extractor intended for automatic nucleic acid isolation is a rational alternative to manual procedures; it improves routine work and offers new diagnostic possibilities.
