Purigen Biosystems' innovative products offer a truly transformative solution for DNA and RNA purification. Their proprietary approach uses isotachophoresis to separate nucleic acids freely in solution without binding or stripping from a physical surface. Because of this, their technology is agnostic to nucleic acid size or sequence and delivers unbiased results ― even from the more challenging sample types like FFPE tissue or low cell counts. Their Ionic Purification System and Kits combine to provide researchers with a fast, efficient, and effective alternative for automated nucleic acid purification.
