When it come to matters of non - standard mechanization solution , several marketplace player have been call for Romédes for help latterly , which has already resulted in a unique deoxyribonucleic acid purifier for a Dutch tater breeder . Ralph Wessels , sale coordinator at this engineering firm which has both an technology and a special machinery branch , explains why this breeder approach them .
1536 sample per run"The breeder wanted us to serve them scale up their DNA isolation and purifying process and they did not want to be dependent on one character of disposable any longer . There are no ' standard ' machines uncommitted for that , " Ralph begins .
" We build up such specialised custom machines for various manufacture , include medical , agricultural , charge plate , and intellectual nourishment manufacture . This auto , the Magnetic Bead Extractor , does 16 time what standard machines in the market do . It has significantly increased the stock breeder ’s scale . "
This industrialized laboratory machine uses magnets to process and purify up to 1.536 DNA sample ( 16 times 96 - well plates ) per run . Although this technique is not a unexampled one , the scale at which this motorcar implements it is . " I ’ve not seen a similar auto on the marketplace yet , " Ralph says .
desoxyribonucleic acid refining is unremarkably represent of multiple footmark . The user can adjust the process to their liking , stimulate it lie of up to 12 purification or process steps . " To optimize the chemical process , the final refining step , elution , can also be executed while being heated . Furthermore , it is also possible to set the vibration relative frequency with which the contaminations are separated from the pure DNA on either low , intermediate , or high-pitched . "
Flexibility in disposablesFew companies in the Netherlands use simple machine like these on this plate . Nevertheless , Romédes sees spate of opportunities in the ( international ) gardening sector . " We are in contact with several breeders and horticulturalists , some of whom are fighting in floriculture as well . "
Ralph notices that businesses are no longer concerned in scaling up only ; they are also peculiarly interested in not give birth to be pendant on one character of disposable ( one supplier ) in the cognitive process any longer .
" The Irish potato breeder ’s machine can process various types of plates ( shallow and deep well ) from unlike brand name . Other companies , too , are count for ways to be more flexible and save production costs . The extra benefit of establishment tests is an improved desoxyribonucleic acid return with higher buffer store solution concentrations . The KASP test performance are improved because of that , too . "
Automation partnerThe company not only provides special laboratory mechanisation , it is also possible to automate packaging , handling , and other physical process . " We build customise machine for that too . We aim to be a married person in solutions and summons improvements , " Ralph concludes .
