Glossary Term
A purification method in which nucleic acids bind to paramagnetic beads and are collected with a magnet through wash steps. It automates well, which is why most high-throughput extraction platforms are bead-based; compare deck footprint and sample capacity when shortlisting systems.
Extraction Methodology
Glossary Term
A detectable physical quantity or impulse (e.g., voltage, current, or magnetic field strength).
Performance Metrics
Glossary Term
A purification method that binds nucleic acids to a silica membrane in a spin column through centrifugation or vacuum. It is a common manual and mid-throughput format with well-understood consumable logistics, but is less automation-friendly than magnetic bead approaches.
