Safety warnings
All steps should be performed at TemperatureRoom temperature .
*NOTE: When reusing tips, make sure to include a bit of extra air aspiration to avoid drops at the bottom of tips when aspirating volumes, and also a bit extra air blows out at the end of dispensing steps in plates.

Perform the TNA extraction in the extraction room separate from the PCR room.
Respect the Laboratory safety guideline for all steps of the protocol.
Wearing PPE is recommended.
