ABRF 2022 Technology Showcase with special guest speaker Dr. Jian Gu from the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center. This video discusses how the next-gen Ionic® Purification System enables pure nucleic acid extraction from FFPE samples using our proprietary charge-based isotachophoresis (ITP) technology.

Dr. Jian Gu from The University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center discusses how the next-gen Ionic® Purification System Improves core lab operations and increases customer satisfaction.

Klint Rose, Ph.D., CSO and Co-Founder of Purigen Biosystems describes the evolution of the isotachophoresis technology inside the Ionic® Purification System which is revolutionizing DNA and RNA extraction for cancer and genomics research.

The revolutionary Ionic® Purification System from Purigen Biosystems uses isotachophoresis to extract, purify, and concentrate nucleic acid from biological samples.

Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) are a crucial sample type for a broad range of research applications including profiling immune cells and serving as “normal” controls for studies of FFPE tumor tissue for oncology studies. Maximizing the DNA yield from PBMCs enables archiving and increases the number of downstream assays that can be performed. The Ionic Purification System from Purigen Biosystems leverages isotachophoresis to maximize the yield of DNA from PBMCs. During the webinar data will be presented showing significantly improved yields of DNA extracted from PBMCs ranging in cell count from 10 cells to 5 million cells. Learning Objectives: • Learn how DNA yield and quality impact downstream genomic analysis • Understand how Isotachophoresis (ITP) works and enables superior nucleic acid extraction vs legacy technologies (columns, beads, precipitation, etc.) • Evaluate data showing superior yields from ITP-based extraction • Explore options for trying out ITP in your lab
