The innovative QIAcube controls integrated components, including a centrifuge, heated shaker, pipetting system and robotic gripper. This enables the QIAcube to fully automate more than 40 QIAGEN spin-column kits.

The QIAcube is preinstalled with a variety of protocols for purification of RNA, genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, viral nucleic acids and proteins, plus DNA and RNA cleanup. All standard protocols in the expanding range are also available for free download. In addition, custom protocols adapted to your specific application requirements can also be requested.
