HeiDi-NA Information Sheet

What is the HeiDi-NA Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction System?
Answer: The HeiDi-NA MAGneat Nucleic Acid Extraction/Purification System is an ultra-compact automated instrument for DNA and RNA extraction and purification using magnetic-bead technology. It can process up to 16 samples simultaneously and automates key extraction steps including sample mixing, magnetic-bead transfer, washing and elution.

How does HeiDi-NA automate DNA and RNA extraction?
Answer: HeiDi-NA automates the key stages of a magnetic-bead extraction workflow, including sample mixing, magnetic-bead transfer, washing and elution. This reduces the need for hands-on involvement and helps provide a more consistent extraction workflow.

How many samples can HeiDi-NA process at once?
Answer: HeiDi-NA can process up to 16 samples simultaneously. This makes it suitable for laboratories that need automated extraction for smaller sample batches.

What sample volumes can HeiDi-NA process?
Answer: HeiDi-NA supports sample volumes from 50 µL to 1000 µL (1 mL).

Which sample types are compatible with HeiDi-NA?
Answer: Microzone lists HeiDi-NA as suitable for extraction and purification from tissue, blood, saliva, bacteria, virus and environmental samples. The system is designed to automate DNA and RNA extraction requirements across a range of sample types.

Can HeiDi-NA extract both DNA and RNA?
Answer: Yes. HeiDi-NA is designed for both DNA and RNA extraction and purification. The product page specifically lists gDNA and cDNA extraction, RNA isolation, and DNA/RNA extraction from blood, saliva and tissue among its applications.

Can HeiDi-NA extract DNA from blood?
Answer: Yes. Microzone specifically lists DNA and RNA extraction from blood as a suitable application for HeiDi-NA.

Can HeiDi-NA extract DNA from saliva?
Answer: Yes. DNA and RNA extraction from both fresh and stabilised saliva is specifically listed among the applications for HeiDi-NA.

Answer: Yes. Microzone lists library preparation for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) among the applications for HeiDi-NA.

How does magnetic-bead extraction work on HeiDi-NA?
Answer: HeiDi-NA automates the movement and processing of magnetic beads through the extraction workflow. The instrument performs sample mixing, magnetic-bead transfer, washing and elution, allowing nucleic acids to be captured, purified and recovered without the same level of manual intervention required for a manual workflow.

How much hands-on time does HeiDi-NA require?
Answer: HeiDi-NA is designed to minimise hands-on involvement by automatically carrying out key extraction steps such as sample mixing, bead transfer, washing and elution. Once the appropriate programme has been set up, the instrument carries out these stages automatically.

How long does a HeiDi-NA extraction take?
Answer: The complete DNA or RNA extraction and purification process can be completed in as little as one hour, depending on the reagent kit being used and the complexity of the programmed method.

How are HeiDi-NA protocols programmed?
Answer: HeiDi-NA provides several programming options. Protocols can be controlled using the instrument’s touch screen or mouse, a connected PC, or the included tablet.

How many extraction programmes can HeiDi-NA store?
Answer: HeiDi-NA has memory for up to 100 programmes, allowing laboratories to store multiple extraction and purification protocols.

What temperature range does HeiDi-NA support?
Answer: HeiDi-NA provides a room temperature (RT) to 120°C temperature range for both lysis and elution. This allows the instrument to support extraction workflows requiring controlled heating during these stages.

How does HeiDi-NA compare with KingFisher systems?
Answer: HeiDi-NA is a compact, 16-sample automated magnetic-bead extraction system, whereas larger KingFisher systems are designed for higher-throughput workflows. HeiDi-NA may therefore be particularly suitable for laboratories that want automated DNA and RNA extraction but do not need the capacity or footprint of a larger extraction instrument. HeiDi-NA has a footprint of approximately 20 × 26 × 30 cm and can process up to 16 samples per run.

How does HeiDi-NA compare with manual magnetic-bead extraction?
Answer: HeiDi-NA automates key stages that would otherwise require manual intervention, including sample mixing, magnetic-bead transfer, washing and elution. Automation can help reduce hands-on processing and provide a more consistent workflow between samples and runs.

Why choose HeiDi-NA for automated DNA and RNA extraction?
Answer: HeiDi-NA combines automated magnetic-bead extraction, a compact footprint and flexible programming in a system capable of processing up to 16 samples. It supports DNA and RNA extraction, plasmid purification and NGS library preparation, with sample volumes from 50–1000 µL and a process time of as little as one hour depending on the kit and programme.
