Bioer GenePure Pro 96 Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction and Purification System

Overview

The Bioer GenePure Pro 96 Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction and Purification System is a dedicated high-throughput platform engineered for reproducible, walk-away isolation of genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, viral RNA, and total RNA from diverse biological matrices—including whole blood, serum, plasma, saliva, buccal swabs, tissue homogenates, and cultured cells. Leveraging magnetic bead-based solid-phase extraction chemistry, the system operates on the principle of controlled binding, washing, and elution under precisely regulated thermal and mechanical conditions. Its core innovation lies in the proprietary high-frequency dual-axis oscillation technology—combining vertical and horizontal motion at lysis and elution stations—which enhances cell disruption efficiency and nucleic acid release while minimizing shearing and aerosol generation. Unlike conventional single-mode agitation systems, this dynamic mixing mechanism ensures uniform reagent-sample interaction across all 96 wells simultaneously, significantly improving yield consistency and reducing inter-run variability. Designed for clinical diagnostics laboratories, biopharmaceutical QC facilities, and academic core genomics units, the GenePure Pro 96 meets stringent operational requirements for traceability, contamination control, and workflow integration.

Key Features

• Dual-axis oscillation system (vertical + horizontal) optimized for efficient lysis and elution—reducing reliance on aggressive pipetting or magnetic bead scraping;
• Integrated UV-C sterilization lamp with programmable scheduling and manual override, supporting routine decontamination of the internal chamber between runs;
• Automated door interlock mechanism that halts all active processes upon unintended opening—ensuring operator safety and preventing cross-contamination;
• Transparent front access panel with anti-fog coating, enabling real-time visual monitoring without compromising containment integrity;
• Modular thermal control architecture: independent heating zones (lysis, wash, elution) utilizing hybrid heated film and Peltier (TE) modules for rapid ramping and ±0.5 °C stability;
• Magnetic bead recovery efficiency validated at ≥99% across sample types and volumes (20–1000 µL), ensuring minimal loss during transfer steps;
• Intuitive 10-inch Windows-based touchscreen interface with drag-and-drop protocol editing, multi-user login, and audit-trail-enabled operation logs;
• No-tool magnetic rod array maintenance—field-replaceable without technician support or calibration recalibration.

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The GenePure Pro 96 supports standardized extraction protocols compliant with ISO 20387:2018 (biobanking), CLSI EP12-A2 (nucleic acid quantification), and relevant sections of FDA 21 CFR Part 11 when paired with validated LIMS integration and electronic signature modules. It accommodates standard 96-well deep-well plates and compatible consumables (e.g., Bioer-certified magnetic bead kits, filter-tip pipette tips, and sealed PCR plates). All wetted components are chemically resistant to common lysis buffers (guanidine thiocyanate, SDS, proteinase K solutions) and ethanol-based wash reagents. The instrument’s closed-chamber design and UV decontamination cycle contribute to adherence with GLP/GMP environmental monitoring expectations for molecular diagnostic workflows.

Software & Data Management

The embedded Windows OS hosts Bioer’s proprietary extraction software v3.2+, offering role-based user permissions, encrypted protocol storage (>1000 preloaded methods), and time-stamped event logging—including temperature profiles, oscillation parameters, door status, UV activation history, and error codes. Data export is supported via USB to CSV or PDF formats; optional OPC UA or HL7 interfaces enable interoperability with enterprise laboratory information systems. Audit trail functionality records operator ID, timestamp, parameter changes, and run completion status—fully traceable for regulatory inspections. Software updates are delivered via secure authenticated firmware packages, maintaining version control and cryptographic integrity.

Applications

• Clinical virology testing (e.g., SARS-CoV-2, HPV, HBV, HCV RNA/DNA extraction from nasopharyngeal swabs and serum);
• High-volume blood donor screening and transplant compatibility testing;
• Bioprocess monitoring in monoclonal antibody and viral vector manufacturing;
• Forensic STR profiling requiring consistent DNA yield from low-input forensic samples;
• Plant and microbial metagenomic library preparation where inhibitor removal is critical;
• Automated preprocessing for downstream NGS library construction and qPCR assay setup.

FAQ

Does the GenePure Pro 96 support third-party magnetic bead kits?

Yes—provided they are validated for 96-well plate format and compatible with the system’s magnetic separation geometry and thermal profile specifications.
Is remote monitoring or cloud-based data backup available?

Remote desktop access is supported via secure RDP over local network; cloud backup requires customer-deployed infrastructure and is not natively embedded.
What is the recommended maintenance interval for the oscillation drive mechanism?

No scheduled maintenance is required—the brushless DC motor and linear guide system are rated for >50,000 cycles with no lubrication or adjustment needed.
Can the instrument be integrated into an automated lab-on-a-chip or robotic workstation?

Yes—standardized I/O signals (TTL-level digital inputs/outputs) and Modbus TCP support enable synchronization with external robotic arms and conveyor systems.
How does the system prevent cross-contamination during high-throughput runs?

Through physical containment (sealed chamber + UV decon), non-contact magnetic bead handling, disposable tip usage per sample, and real-time door interlock enforcement—no aerosol-generating pipetting occurs inside the chamber.
