Technology Showcase: Purigen Biosystems – The New Ionic™ Purification System from Purigen Biosystems – Automated DNA Purification from FFPE Samples Without Bias

Speaker: Lewis Marshall, Ph.D. – Director of Fluidics, Purigen Biosystems

The Purigen Ionic™ Purification System uses isotachophoresis (ITP) to extract, concentrate, and purify nucleic acid from biological samples. ITP is a gentle, microfluidic process that separates nucleic acid from impurities based on electrophoretic mobility. At this workshop, Lewis Marshall, Director of Microfluidic Engineering at Purigen Biosystems will walk through data demonstrating use of the Ionic™ system to derive the best available DNA from FFPE sections, and the impact that higher DNA quality has on NGS sequencing outcomes.
