Molecular confirmation of genetic disorders

The DiaSorin Arrow Blood DNA 200 extraction assays, which provide a highly purified DNA preparation, reduce inhibition in downstream analysis and ensure accurate and sensitive confirmation of factor V Leiden thrombophilia, cystic fibrosis and other genetic disorders, are now available from approved DiaSorin distributors at special end-of-year rates.

Molecular testing for genetic mutations provide valuable confirmation of diagnosis and enables carriers of the mutated genes to be identified. The performance of these molecular tests can be affected by a number of factors, including the quality of the DNA preparation.

The DiaSorin Blood DNA 200 extraction kits utilise magnetic bead technology to ensure high yields of highly purified genomic DNA from just 200 µL whole blood. Used together with the DiaSorin Arrow instrument, it automates the extraction of genomic DNA, which reduces hands-on time and increases sample throughput in busy genetic laboratories.

In addition to Blood DNA, DiaSorin nucleic acid extraction kits are available for the extraction of RNA or DNA from a variety of sample matrices, the extraction of DNA from stool and larger blood samples, BUGS’n BEADS for the extraction of nucleic acid from a variety of pathogens; and cell separation.
