  • Ionic® Purification System - Charge-based DNA / RNA Extraction

    The Next-Gen Sample Prep System

    The revolutionary Ionic system requires no binding, stripping, or washing from fixed surfaces for higher yields, higher quality, and better data for your research.

  • No beads, no columns, no surface-binding

    Simple, Automated, Charge-based DNA and RNA Extraction

    Isotachophoresis separates and concentrates charged molecules in solution solely based on their electrophoretic mobility for pure DNA and RNA extraction.

Pure, Native, Intact DNA, RNA and miRNA
Biological samples are gently lysed without the use of chaotropic salts. Nucleic acids are not denatured or dehydrated.
Higher Amplifiable Yields and Better Data
Extract up to 50% more DNA from cultured cells, and 3.5x more DNA and 2x more RNA from FFPE samples versus traditional column-based methods.
No Beads, No Columns,
No Surface-binding
Nucleic acids are purified solely based on electrophoretic mobility. Elimination of binding, washing, and stripping reduces sample loss and contamination.
No Risk Downstream
Purification is not biased toward nucleic acids of a certain length or GC content.
Superior Workflow for FFPE
Extraction of RNA, DNA, and miRNA from FFPE scrolls or slides requires less than
3 minutes of hands-on time per sample (lysis included). No chemical deparaffinization is required.
Automated Nucleic Acid Purification
Nucleic acids are automatically separated and concentrated from sample lysate on the Ionic Purification System in
~60 minutes.

The application of ITP to purify and quantify nucleic acids from complex biological samples was pioneered by Purigen co-founder and Stanford University Professor, Juan G. Santiago. The Ionic Purification System is compatible with a range of samples including cells and FFPE to help researchers, scientists, pathologists, and oncologists find the best method for DNA and RNA extraction.
