Optimize Cancer Diagnostics with Automated FFPE Sample Preparation

Improve nucleic acid yield and reliability with automation-friendly genomic profiling 

Clinical labs are under constant pressure to deliver accurate and timely diagnostic results. The integration of automated systems for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sample preparation addresses common challenges such as labor-intensive processes, potential sample degradation, and the use of toxic chemicals. By leveraging adaptive focused acoustics (AFA) technology, your lab can achieve higher yields of nucleic acids with greater consistency, enhancing the reliability of genomic and immune profiling.

Adaptive Focused Acoustics® (AFA®) sample preparation offers several operational benefits:

  • Automation allows your lab to process more samples in less time, meeting the growing demand for rapid diagnostic results

  • Automated workflows minimize human error and variability, ensuring that each sample is processed uniformly, which is crucial for reliable data

  • By reducing the need for manual intervention and hazardous chemicals, your lab can lower operational costs while maintaining high standards of safety and quality

  • Higher yields of intact DNA and RNA improve the accuracy of next-generation sequencing (NGS) assays, leading to better-informed treatment decisions

  • The flexibility of automated systems allows your lab to scale operations according to demand, without compromising on performance or quality

This resource delves into innovative technologies that optimize the extraction of high-quality DNA and RNA from FFPE samples, essential for precision oncological diagnostics.


Discover detailed insights into:

  • The operational efficiencies gained through automation-friendly workflows

  • The scientific value of extracting high-quality DNA and RNA from the same FFPE sample
