MagNA Pure Compact Instrument

The MagNA Pure Compact Instrument is a small benchtop instrument intended for the preparation of nucleic acids for general laboratory use. The 8-nozzle pipette head can process up to 8 isolations in parallel.

The MagNA Pure Compact Instrument is the optimal solution for fast and easy automation of nucleic acid purification from small sample numbers. It performs 1–8 nucleic acid purifications from a broad variety of sample materials (e.g., mammalian blood, serum, plasma, tissue, or cells) in 15–40 minutes (depending on the protocol). The system is highly flexible concerning the sample and elution volumes needed to obtain the necessary nucleic acid concentration for application. The samples are tracked, and clots, tip-loss, cartridges, and volumes are detected and checked during the processing run. All information is saved for documentation purposes.

The isolated high-quality nucleic acids are suitable for PCR and RT-PCR reactions on real-time PCR systems, as well as on standard block cyclers, and for many other downstream applications.

Benefits

• Automate processing of 1–8 samples.
• Conserve laboratory space by using a compact standalone instrument with a small footprint.
• Take advantage of onboard protocols for each type of nucleic acid isolation.
• Choose different sample and elution volumes for a broad range of sample materials.
• Document kit information and track samples using the bar-code reader.
• Minimize contamination risk with prefilled reagents and disposables, synchronized stage movement, an integrated HEPA filter, and UV decontamination.
