Sample preparation
5.1
Preparing buffers and solutions
All buffers and solutions are provided in pre-filled and sealed reaction tubes (reagent
plates or strips) depending on the extraction routine and source material. The prepa-
ration of the sample tray is described in detail in each kit manual and in the sections
“Preparing the sample tray for kits with magnetic beads” p. 26 and “Preparing the
sample tray for SmartExtraction” p. 29.
In addition to the pre-filled and sealed reaction tubes, additional kits are available
which must first be filled with the reagents according to the descriptions in the corre-
sponding kit manuals. Follow the instructions described in the preparatory steps within
the kit components of the kit manual.

Preparing the sample tray for kits with magnetic beads
CAUTION
Nickel allergy! The sample tray is coated with nickel.
ATTENTION
Use the priming station to populate the sample tray. The filter tips are longer than the
tip block and would impact against the tabletop!
Prior to extraction, the sample tray must be loaded with the reagent plates and/or rea-
gent strips of the kit used. In the example the sample tray is populated with a reagent
plate and four reagent strips. When inserting the plates and strips always ensure the
correct orientation!
1.
Slide the sample tray into the priming station. Fold the
holding-down clamps on the sample tray up.
