Is it possible to recover the nucleic acid in a very small volume of 20 µl or less?
Nucleic acid from 20 µl using 200 µl PCR tubes may be recovered. However, the MCB 1200 is configured for use with 1.2-1.5ml Eppendorf type of microcentrifuge tubes and therefore the tube holder would need to be modified. In the current configuration, total test volume below 50 µl is not recommended. For processing such small volumes, an instrument for the 96 well microtiterplate format may be more suitable.
