Purigen Biosystems Receives European Clearance for Nucleic Acid Extraction System

Purigen Biosystems has received CE mark certification for its Ionic Purification System, a device that extracts DNA and RNA from samples with high yields and quality.

The benchtop device can extract the DNA and RNA from samples in one hour using an electric field to isolate the nucleic acid in its natural form so it is not denatured or dehydrated and is free of contamination with buffer solutions.

Pleasanton, Calif.-based Purigen launched the Ionic system in the U.S. in 2019.
