Application Guide: Sample Preparation for Nucleic Acid Techniques

Last updated: June, 2024

Overview

Sample preparation tools such as pipettes and lab water systems are vital for nucleic acid techniques (NAT), where high quality, contamination-free reagents and precise volume measurements are essential for reproducibility and accuracy. For NAT, including PCR, qPCR, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and genotyping, the tools must ensure consistent performance and not contain impurities like DNases, RNases, and particulates. Pipettes must deliver exact volumes to maintain reaction conditions, while lab water must be ultrapure to prevent false positives or negatives, ensuring reliable detection and amplification of genetic material.
