Description

Product Information

The Qiagen QIAcube is an automated sample processing system designed to seamlessly integrate with low-throughput lab workflows. Suitable for molecular biology applications, it automates the purification of nucleic acids and proteins using QIAGEN spin-columns. Capable of handling up to 12 samples per run, the system features an intuitive touchscreen and supports a range of automation protocols for RNA, DNA, and protein purification. This preowned unit, sourced from a functional lab environment, powers on and completes basic tests without errors. Its built-in components, including a centrifuge, heated shaker, pipetting system, and robotic gripper, facilitate manual-free processing. Cosmetic wear is typical but does not affect functionality. The device supports user-friendly protocol selection and execution via downloadable and preinstalled software. Ideal for researchers seeking efficiency and productivity.

Technician comment

Qiagen QIAcube powers on and initializes without errors. Touchscreen display is responsive, and system boots to main menu. All functions are operational. No further testing performed due to lack of reagents and consumables. Unit is preowned from a working laboratory environment.
