The Maxwell 16 total RNA purification kit uses prefilled reagent cartridges to provide high yields of total RNA while effectively removing contaminating genomic DNA (gDNA) from the RNA preparation
The new Total RNA purification kit expands the capabilities of the Maxwell 16 purification system, giving hands free, automated purification of total RNA from virtually any sample type including mammalian tissue, eukaryotic tissue culture cells, white blood cells, plant leaf material, or RNA-cleanup applications.
The Maxwell 16 Instrument will process up to 16 samples in about 30 minutes of walk-away instrument operation.
Purified RNA is ready for immediate downstream analysis without the need for precipitation, DNase treatment or other post-purification manipulation.
Personal automation.
The Maxwell 16 system was developed to meet the needs of low to moderate-throughput users by providing automated purification at a scale more appropriate to their workload without considerable capital investment, training or maintenance.
The Maxwell 16 Instrument automated methods allow simple operation of the instrument for either gDNA or total RNA purification using the respective prefilled reagent cartridges, thereby eliminating both cross contamination risks and any potential for human error.
The Maxwell 16 Instrument has a compact design to minimize the amount of laboratory space that it occupies.
At the touch of a button, you achieve a new level of confidence in your results.
Promega calls this personal automation.
"Our mission is to keep scientists as close to their science as possible," says Promega CEO Bill Linton.
"Researchers need to have access to automation that gives them more capability and control without great expense.
"Personal automation as exemplified by Maxwell is a big step in reaching that goal."
