Roche Applied Science has announced that its Magna Pure LC 2.0 System meets all requirements for a modern nucleic acid purification system.
The updated instrument includes a redesign of the housing, optimised handling, an integrated computer and LCD monitor with touch screen, software and LIMS/network compatibility.
The front door of the system requires less space above the instrument, while the surface materials of the stage proved to be resistant to all tested cleaning agents.
The GUI allows efficient programming and data processing, and the real-time PCR workflow with Light Cycler 480 System has been improved.
The programming of pipetting schemes for various PCR set-ups can be done by separate post-elution software and error handling has been minimised.
The Magna Pure LC System is based on magnetic bead technology.
It is designed to automate nucleic acid purification and PCR set-up in the medium to high throughput range, flexibly processing 1-32 samples at a time.
The duration to purify a full batch of 32 samples is 52-180 minutes, depending on the application.
Smaller batches require even shorter run duration.
