QIAcube Connect lets you automate your manual spin-column-based sample preparation kits right out of the box and purify up to 12 samples in a single run.

To work even faster, get kits specifically designed for use with QIAcube Connect. These come with spin columns and tubes already loaded onto the rotor, so you don't have to put them in yourself:

QIAcube Connect operates in conjunction with QIAcube Connect Accessories .

Performance

The plug-and-play QIAcube Connect simplifies purification by automating QIAGEN spin-column kits. No change of chemistry is needed, so startup is fast, results are immediate, and performance is comparable to the manual procedure.

Principle

QIAcube Connect includes a centrifuge, heated shaker, pipetting system and robotic gripper (see " The QIAcube Connect worktable "). These let the QIAcube Connect fully automate more than 80 QIAGEN spin column kits.

UV light decontamination

QIAcube Connect decontaminates your full worktable with built-in UV light (see " The QIAcube Connect UV light ") to prevent carryover between samples (see " Genomic DNA (gDNA) barely detectable after UV light exposure ").

Remote connectivity with QIAsphere

QIAcube Connect is QIAsphere-ready. QIAsphere gives full connectivity so you can step out of the lab to ponder on your research while keeping an eye on your instrument run status.

Stay alert to important instrument events with QIAsphere's push notifications. You can even check maintenance status and manage run reports from anywhere, at anytime. Increase the efficiency and productivity of your lab. Learn more about QIAsphere.

Barcode scanner

Track samples and sample prep kit information throughout the process, using the handheld barcode scanner that comes with the kit.

Illuminated worktable

Light inside the instrument makes it easier for you to load your samples and perform your experiments.

Protocols for various sample types

QIAcube Connect has a variety of pre-installed protocols for purification of RNA, genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, viral nucleic acids and proteins, plus DNA and RNA cleanup. All standard protocols in the expanding range can also be downloaded free of charge. Customized protocols can also be requested.

Procedure

QIAcube Connect isolates highly pure nucleic acids or proteins using a spin-column-based lyse, bind, wash and elute procedure (see '' Automated QIAprep Mini Standard procedure '').

Unparalleled ease-of-use

A large touchscreen (see figure '' The QIAcube Connect touchscreen '') simplifies protocol selection. Clear on-screen messages guide you through worktable setup. You are unlikely to make mistakes because the labware and accessories fit onto the worktable only in the correct orientation. In addition, a fully automated load check helps to ensure that samples, reagents and labware are loaded correctly.

Dedicated kits for DNA and RNA preps

Dedicated QIAcube Connect kits further simplify automated spin-preps for purification of RNA, genomic DNA and viral RNA. Rotor-adapters that come with the kits are pre-loaded with spin columns and elution tubes, so they are ready to use right out of the box. And then, to lessen the risk of errors even more, tubes required for the manual procedure are not included in kits dedicated for use with QIAcube Connect.

Applications

- Sequencing/sequencing analysis
- Gene expression analysis
- Genotyping
- Proteomics
- Microbiome research
- Human identification and forensics (Learn more about the automated differential wash protocol )

QIAcube Connect is highly suitable for academic research laboratories as well as pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and biomedical research laboratories performing applications, such as:
