title: A new automated method for isolation of genomic DNA from eukaryotic cells.
abstract: In this study we determine whether the BIOMEK-1000 Laboratory Workstation (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA) can be used to isolate genomic DNA from eukaryotic cells. The results obtained demonstrate that DNA isolated by BIOMEK-1000 is suitable for amplification of genomic sequences by PCR. Our data prove that automated chromatographic DNA isolation employing the BIOMEK-1000 could be used in molecular diagnosis of human pathologies.
