Four simple steps from start to finish:
1. Add tissue or liquid samples to reagent cartridge
2. Place cartridge into the Maxwell™ 16 Instrument
3. Press the Start Button
4. DNA is eluted into Elution Buffer in about 30 minutes


Benefits:
Recover Lost Time and Labour: Automation eliminates time and labour spent on sample pre-processing and manual purification, giving you the time to get your work done.
Gain Confidence in Your Results: Instrument design, optimised reagents and automated methods provide consistent yield and purity.
Choose Your Sample Type: Flexibility allows you to run blood cells or tissue.
Save a Day: Eliminate grinding or proteinase K treatment; you directly process tissue and cells.

Easy Set-Up:
Maxwell™ 16 comes with pre-installed optimised automated methods for each kit: no separate computer or training required. Enjoy true "plug and play" operation. The plunger action of the instrument grinds tissue samples directly in the lysis buffer in the reagent cartridge. Save hours to days over traditional protocols that use proteinase K treatment or manual tissue grinding process.

Variety of Sample Types:
Three optimised reagent kits are available for blood, cells or tissue. The kits contain all reagents in convenient pre-dispensed cartridges. You get consistent DNA yield and purity from mouse tails, animal tissue, whole blood, tissue culture cells, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, and plant leaf tissue. A single cartridge is used per prep and can be used for a range of sample amounts. Purified DNA is ready for PCR or other applications.
