In order to determine the genetic basis of quantitative traits, DNA is isolated and marker analyses performed for thousands of 96-well plates each year. No. Description of Services Quantity COST 0001 KBS-0009-001 oKtopure High 1 EA $_______ Throughput DNA extraction robot OR EQUAL 0002 KBS-0009-003 oKtopure off line 1 EA $_______ Tip Wash option OR EQUAL Note that all "or equal" submissions shall submit documentation to support the "or equal" claim. Minimum Equipment Salient Features are as follows: •1 1. Performs walk away purification of genomic DNA from lysed plant tissue. •2 2. Compatible with sBeadex plant DNA extraction kits (for example - LGC genomics NAP41601 and NAP41640) for nucleic acid purification without ethanol washing to reduce organic waste. 3. Process up to eight 96 well plates in parallel and perform up to 5,000 extractions in 8 hours. The nucleic acids must be eluted into a 96-well plate. 4.
