Manta
Manta automates high-quality DNA, RNA, and cfDNA extractions from a variety of clinical diagnostic sample types.
Being compact, high-throughput, and compatible with different workflows,
Manta constitutes an exciting new category of automated devices.
After years of developing and perfecting magnetic nanoparticles for genomic workflows, we have adapted the beads to an automated solution to help you achieve your extraction goals in record time.
Manta uses this magnetic bead-based technology to purify DNA, RNA, and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from various clinical diagnostics sample types.
Key features:
- Run a single sample or as high as 32 samples per run
- Variable starting sample volumes from 100 μl – 4 mL
- Compatible with diverse clinical diagnostic sample types
- Pre-filled cartridges to ensure zero cross contamination
- Compact in size
The pre-filled convenience
Manta uses cartridges, pre-filled with precise volumes of buffers to ensure optimal results for every run. Each cartridge is designed to minimize contamination, guaranteeing repeatable outcomes.
The buffer systems in these cartridges are customized to suit a wide range of sample types. Whether you’re working with bodily fluids, tissues, or those hard-to-crack FFPE blocks, Manta has you covered.
1 cartridge = 1 sample
Versatile sample compatibility
With Manta, you can run extractions with different sample types, simultaneously. Save time by pooling all major sample types like blood, tissue, and FFPE in the same protocol.
- Blood and bodily fluids: Pus, sputum, plasma, BAL fluid, amniotic fluid, endotracheal aspirates, urine, CSF, pleural fluid, CVS, peritoneal fluid, synovial fluid, and more.
- Fresh/frozen tissue
- FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded) tissue
- Saliva and buccal swabs
- Infectious samples
- Dried blood spots
- Cell cultures
One device, multiple applications
Manta delivers high-quality, intact DNA and RNA which can be used for multiple downstream workflows:
- Genetics lab (microarray testing, gut microbiome testing, academic research)
- Infectious disease testing (TB testing, AMR detection, UTI detection)
- Molecular oncology (Liquid biopsy research, cervical cancer screening, somatic and hematological cancer diagnosis)
- Biobanking (HLA typing, long-term DNA storage, blood bank testing)
- Reproductive genetics (NIPT, PGT testing)
- Forensics (STR analysis)
Application Brief
Isolating DNA from FFPE tissue blocks – Whitepapaer
Isolating FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded) DNA has long been a challenging task due to DNA degradation and cross-linking caused by fixation. Cambrian’s innovative DNA isolation kits offer a revolutionary solution. By utilizing magnetic bead technology, these kits efficiently extract high-quality FFPE DNA, overcoming the hurdles of fragmentation and cross-linking. With user-friendly protocols and optimized reagents, Cambrian’s kits simplify the isolation process, ensuring DNA integrity and preserving valuable genetic information. Researchers and clinicians now have a reliable tool to obtain pristine FFPE DNA, advancing their molecular studies and diagnostics. Cambrian’s kits make FFPE DNA isolation a breeze, fostering scientific progress and medical breakthroughs.
