| Sample size: | Up to 200 µl |

| Elution volume: | 50¨C200 µl |
The
QIAamp 96 DNA Blood Kit provides proven QIAamp technology in a convenient
96-well format for high-throughput purification needs. QIAamp 96 plates provide
well-to-well uniformity in DNA recovery and purity (see figures "Sample
Reproducibility" and "Reproducibility of
Yield and Purity"). As many as 192 samples can be processed in 2¨C3
hours using the centrifugation-based procedure, yielding highly pure DNA in less
than 1 minute per preparation. Even higher throughput can be achieved by
staggering the procedure.
The QIAamp 96 spin procedure requires the deep rotor buckets of the QIAGEN 96-Well-Plate Centrifugation System to accommodate QIAamp 96 plates stacked on 96-well blocks.
