DPX Technologies has announced its latest products and fully automated workflows utilizing functionalized pipette tips. The products, MicroPorous Xtraction (MPX) Tips and NiXTips™, are designed for DNA extraction and nucleic acid clean up, respectively. Launched in 2024, NiXTips were first developed with compatibility on Hamilton® Robotics platforms and Agilent Bravo systems, but are now available for use on Integra VIAFLO semi-automated liquid handlers.
New automated workflows using 1 mL MPX Tips for DNA extraction and NiXTips for highly efficient size selection have been designed to resolve common challenges with current traditional methods. INTip methods simplify workflows by eliminating bead capture time, bead carryover, bead resuspension and requirements for magnets. Additionally, automated INTip methods utilize the robotic liquid handler to reduce hands-on processing time and reduce opportunities for sample contamination and experimental errors.
"We're thankful for the continued partnership with our customers that have brought MPX technology and NiXTips beyond the beta-testing phase," Dr. William Brewer, Founder and CEO of DPX Technologies. "With the launch of NiXTips and now MPX Tips, DPX can provide automated solutions to streamline genomic sample preparation."
DPX Technologies offers custom method development and automation support to ensure an optimized workflow based on unique variables such as sample volume, DNA fragment size, buffer composition, binding cycles, etc.
