Nucleic Acid Extraction

Nucleic Acid Extraction

DNA or RNA isolation is the starting point for most omics analyses.

We have extraction robots which make it possible to carry out the standardised extraction of high-molecular DNA and high-quality RNA from a wide range of different biomaterials (please see below).
We are able to rely on many years of expertise in establishing and applying a wide range of extraction protocols and we use this expertise to help optimise the extraction methods for your particular project.

We are also happy to advise you in selecting a suitable collection system to ensure the optimum quality of your sample.


We offer DNA extraction from:
  • Whole blood (fresh or frozen)
  • Buffy coat
  • Saliva
  • Tissue
  • Cell pellets
  • Stool
  • Buccal swabs

We offer RNA extraction from:
  • PAXgene blood samples
  • Tissue
  • Cell pellets
  • TempusTM
  • Sarstedt

As standard, we carry out photometric checks on all extracted nucleic acids in terms of quality and quantity.


In addition, we are able to provide the following services:
  • DNA concentration measurement using PicoGreen
  • RNA concentration measurement using QuantIT
  • Quality checks using BioAnalyzer
  • Normalisation to specific concentrations
  • Aliquoting samples
  • Biobanking
