EZ1 Advanced DNA Paraffin Section Card

From QIAGEN, this protocol card is designed for use with the EZ1 Advanced automated workstation, enabling DNA extraction from paraffin-embedded tissue sections. It pairs with the EZ1 DNA Tissue Kit and the workstation's prefilled, foil-sealed reagent cartridges, which remain sealed until the run is started to reduce the risk of contamination during setup.

The card specifies the purification protocol without any manual data entry — the user simply inserts it into the instrument's card slot to begin processing. Optimised to maximise recovery from fixed tissue while minimising crosslinking-related inhibitors, the workflow yields material suitable for molecular testing. Additional protocol cards can be added over time to extend the instrument's application range without retraining or instrument modification.
