Enhanced Viral RNA Extraction from Nasal and Throat Swab Samples The Chromatrap®
throat swab samples.
The easy-to-use spin column offers a fast and effi cient ‘one-stop’ alternative to using traditional syringe and needle homogenisation techniques.
Employing a novel dual frit extraction design the Chromatrap® Homogeniser Spin Column reduces lysate viscosity and captures insoluble
debris by centrifugation. The homogenised lysate sample is then ready for RNA extraction. Employed as a single-use consumable - the Chromatrap®
contamination. Fully compatible with all manual RNA extraction kits - the Chromatrap® Homogeniser Spin Column provides an ideal sample preparation
solution for RNA miniprep and midiprep. Download an application note describing preparation of nasal or throat swabs for downstream RNA extraction. More information online:

The Fastest Rotor Mill on the Market: Speed up your sample throughput
Nothing matches the performance of the original. Retsch’s Ultra Centrifugal Mills have set standards in sample homogenisation for almost 50 years.
The latest model ZM 300 comprises the essence of German engineering expertise combined with high-quality materials, smart accessories, and latest software technology. The powerful mill provides maximum grinding performance at high speed while, at the same time, ensuring operator convenience and safety.
The maximum speed of classic centrifugal mills is usually limited to 18,000 rpm. The ZM 300 achieves up to 23,000 rpm and produces particles which are 15 to 20% fi ner in comparison to conventional rotor mills, depending on the material. The high speed also allows for an increase of sample throughput by 10 to 15%.
The variable speed range allows for optimum adaptation of the grinding process to the sample requirements by keeping the grinding time as short as possible and the temperature increase as moderate as possible. Too much heat may have a negative effect on the grinding results, for example, if moisture or volatile components escape.
The ZM 300 is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor which measures the temperature of the cassette lid near the ring sieve. The measured temperature is constantly shown in the mill’s display, allowing the user to optimise the grinding process and improve reproducibility.

Integra Biosciences’ electronic handheld pipetting solutions are helping to improve the throughput capacity of bulk RNA barcoding and sequencing (BRB-seq) at Alithea Genomics in Switzerland. The company’s fast, high throughput and robust in-house BRB-seq service provides crucial gene expression data at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional RNA-seq, and the company’s workfl ow relies on Integra VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 electronic handheld pipettes to provide the speed and precision needed for seamless plate-to-plate transfers.
Traditional RNA-seq protocols process samples individually, which can become extremely time consuming and tiresome. That’s why Alithea Genomics offers a BRB-seq service that pools and processes samples together in a single tube, saving on both reagents and time, making this approach ideal for large-scale projects. To offer customers enhanced speed, precision, and throughput, the company began using VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 pipetting systems for plate-to-plate transfers for its in-house service, as well as to assemble and aliquot sequencing kit plates to ship to customers. Riccardo Dainese, CEO of Alithea, explained: “For us, the VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 provide the best balance between automation, pricing, and throughput. They allow us to seamlessly transfer and quickly process thousands of samples, while still retaining the fl exibility to change between 96 to 384 channel pipetting heads as often as required.”

“Being able to guarantee the precision of plate-to- plate transfers has been so important - especially when preparing ready-to-use plates for our customers -because it translates directly into data accuracy and uniformity. The VIAFLO 96 and VIAFLO 384 can aspirate a defi ned volume, then simultaneously dispense multiple smaller aliquots into 96 or 384 well plates, providing us with a much more convenient workfl ow than manual pipetting, while helping to guarantee precision. The systems give us everything we need to achieve our target throughput, without the hefty price tag of a large, automated liquid handling robot,” Riccardo concluded.
