EuroGentest Validation Report
EuroGentest is an EU-funded Network of Excellence, with 5 Units looking at all aspects of genetic testing - Quality Management, Information Databases, Public Health, New Technologies and Education. Through a series of initiatives EuroGentest encourages the harmonization of standards and practice in all these areas throughout the EU and beyond.
In this case EuroGentest performed a study with over 180 anonymized whole blood samples in EDTA. DNA extraction from these blood samples was performed with chemagenīs automated DNA isolation system, the chemagic Magnetic Separation Module I, and Perkin Elmerīs MultiProbe II Liquid Handler.
The aim of this validation study was to describe in detail the physico-chemical qualities of DNA isolated with the chemagen/Perkin Elmer Platform.
"Our study has shown that the integrated chemagen-Perkin Elmer DNA extraction platform is an easy-to-use, flexibe system resulting in DNA of good quality, with a high yield and a satisfying performance for diagnostic purpose" Tom Janssens, Laboratory for Molecular Diagnosis, Center for Human Genetics, University Hospital Leuven.
