Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I use a heat block for the AutoLys M tube incubation?

No. The AutoLys M tubes don't fit in a standard 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL heat block. We recommend incubating the tubes in the tube racks in an incubator or oven.

What kind of centrifuge do I need to spin down the AutoLys M Tubes (Cat. No. A38738)?

Any centrifuge with plate adapters will work. The AutoLys M Tube Racks fit nicely into those adapters.

Do I need to buy the AutoLys M TubeLifter (Cat. No. A37956) or AutoLys M Tube Pliers (Cat. No. A38261) to use the AutoLys M Tubes (Cat. No. A38738)?

No, the AutoLys M Tubes can be lifted manually, but the tools significantly reduce hand strain and increase ease of use as well as throughput.

Do the AutoLys M Tubes come with the MagMAX FFPE DNA/RNA Ultra Kit?

No, they have to be purchased separately together with some other products that are necessary for using the AutoLys M Tube system efficiently:
- AutoLys M Tubes and Caps (Cat. No. A38738)
- Autolys M Tube Locking Lid (Cat. No. A37954)
- AutoLys M TubeLifter (Cat. No. A37956)
- AutoLys M Tube Pliers (Cat. No. A38261)
- AutoLys M Tube Racks (Cat. No. A37955)

How does using the the AutoLys M Tube system help in increase the DNA/RNA yield from FFPE samples?

The FFPE-associated wax and debris are held in the upper chamber of the AutoLys M tube while the lysate passes through. Nucleic acids can then be purified from the clarified lysate. The AutoLys M tubes thus reduce manipulation of the sample eliminating the need to pellet the tissue and wash, so tissue loss is minimized
