I'm looking to automate DNA extractions and I'm trying to figure out which option is better: getting a QIACube to use the DNEasy kits (which seem to have the highest eDNA extraction success of all the kits) or a magnetic bead based one like the Maxwell. I've seen one paper (Sanches & Schreier 2020) that compares beads & Qiagen DNeasy and says the DNEasy kits perform better. Have others had success using magnetic bead extractions on eDNA samples?
Thanks--but I'm not looking for a robot to sample the water (like the nature paper)--I'm asking about DNA extraction robots to automate extractions.
And I already cited the other paper--this is the only one that I can find. I'd like to know if others have success using the kits that come with the Maxwell RSC (CTAB) designed for extraction?
