Streamlining Plant Pathogen Detection: Valto Biocontrol’s Integration of Promega High-Throughput Nucleic Acid Extraction Platform

This review summarizes Valto Biocontrol’s move toward a high-throughput (HT) nucleic acid extraction solution utilizing Promega Maxwell® HT simplyRNA Kit, Custom. This project was initiated by Dr. Menno Westerdijk, Head of Laboratories at Valto Biocontrol, who established a molecular laboratory onsite. The Promega Field Support Scientist team assisted Dr. Westerdijk to develop an automated nucleic acid solution using their existing KingFisher™ Flex robot. Dr. Westerdijk’s extensive experience working with KingFisher robots in the agricultural sector combined with expert guidance from Promega Field Support enabled a seamless implementation of the Maxwell® HT chemistry for his laboratory.
