Validated protocols and scripts are in development for automation of the PrepFiler™ kit chemistry on the Tecan Freedom EVO® liquid and magnetic particle handling platform as part of the HID EVOlution™ System. The validation of the automated protocols will be carried out on the Tecan Freedom EVO® 150 platform (the Tecan EVO® 200 will also be considered validated due to the similarities between worktable layouts). Customers wishing to automate on an alternative platform should consult the PrepFiler Forensic DNA Extraction Kit User Guide for information on the PrepFiler reagents, recommended protocols, and required materials and hardware. A 96-well Magnetic Ring Stand, heated shaker and PrepFiler™ kit plastics are recommended to ensure optimal performance of the chemistry on alternative platforms.
