SpinStar™ Procedure and Quality

The quality of the extracted nucleic acids has a profound impact on the performance, reliability and sensitivity of any molecular test. SpinStar™ Extraction Kits are developed in compliance with ISO 13485 specifically for the MDx downstream applications in ADT’s portfolio.

The SpinStar™ procedure comprises 4 steps (lyse, bind, wash, elute) and is carried out using SpinStar™ columns in a standard microcentrifuge. The procedure is designed to ensure that there is no sample-to-sample cross-contamination and allows safe handling of potentially infectious samples. The simple SpinStar™ procedure, which is highly suited for simultaneous processing of multiple samples, yields pure nucleic acid in approximately 1 hour.
