The MagMax sample preparation system (nucleic acid isolation kits + Magnetic Particle processor) offers accelerated and automated nucleic acid isolation utilizing MagMax magnetic bead-based technology on MagMax Express magnetic particle processors. MagMax technology was developed to extract both genomic and viral nucleic acid from diverse sample matrices for several downstream applications. In contrast, the MagMax Express magnetic particle processor utilizes permanent rods to collect magnetic beads from solution and releases the beads into the well containing reagents for the next step of isolation. The effectiveness of bead collection and transfer leads to superior washing, elution efficiency, and rapid processing.
