Nucleic Acid Purification System

Streamline Your Workflow with Maxprep® Liquid Handler Automation
From sample preprocessing to post-purification applications, the Maxprep® Liquid Handler easily integrates wherever you need it in your laboratory workflow.

Save valuable time with methods that come preloaded and ready-to-use.
- Preprogrammed protocols means no methods to create or protocols to write
- Easy-to-use software interface means anyone can quickly run samples
Simplify sample preprocessing into extraction.
- Perform sample preprocessing on the Maxprep® Liquid Handler and seamlessly transition to Maxwell® Instruments for nucleic acid extraction
- Integrated sample tracking through every step of your sample processing workflow
- Robotic processing on the Maxprep® Liquid Handler and Maxwell® Instruments ensures that every sample is handled the same way every time
Streamline post-extraction processing.
- Following nucleic acid purification with Maxwell® Instruments, effortlessly transition back to the Maxprep® Liquid Handler for post-extraction processing, including eluate transfer, nucleic acid quantitation assay setup, normalization and amplification reaction setup using the preprogrammed methods.
- Enhance efficiency in your lab by integrating the Maxprep® Liquid Handler with GloMax® Instruments to automate setup of quantitation assays and tracking interpolated sample concentration data
Flexible, Automated Nucleic Acid Purification
The Maxwell® Instruments work with a variety of sample types, including human blood, cells and tissues. With fast and easy protocols, prefilled cartridges and preprogrammed methods, you get reliable and consistent nucleic acid purification with the flexibility to process only the sample number you need. You can process anywhere from 1 to 48 samples with the Maxwell® Instruments.

Add Automated Sample Processing to Your Workflow
The Maxprep® Liquid Handler works with the Maxwell® Instruments you already have in your lab. Build a modular system for a complete, automated sample processing workflow. Modules can all be connected to Portal Access software to share information.


Reliable

Using prefilled cartridges and preprogrammed methods reduces the potential for user error. Purified nucleic acids are compatible with a wide range of downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR, Sanger and next-generation sequencing (NGS), microarrays and digital PCR.

Efficient

Automating nucleic acid extraction frees up your time. The integrated quantitation eliminates the need to re-enter sample IDs and creates a streamlined, simple sample tracking report that easily exports to your laboratory notebook.

Intuitive

Maxwell® software is so easy to use and intuitive that you’ll be able to set up and perform your first run in a matter of minutes after initial instrument setup.

Confident

The large LED Indicator provides visual run status, and an integrated vision system on the Maxwell® RSC 48 Instrument detects proper cartridge setup and further reduces the potential for user error.
Keep Track of Your Samples through Every Step
Create a virtual purification assembly line, preparing Maxwell® cartridges on the Maxprep® Liquid Handler and purifying them using your Maxwell® Instruments. You can place your instruments anywhere in the laboratory and sample tracking information will be communicated from one device to the next. Simply transfer the Maxwell® deck tray from one instrument to the next and all the sample information will be ready for you to process.

Sample Tracking
The Maxprep® Liquid Handler automatically scans the sample bar codes as they are placed into the instrument. Once you scan the desired Maxwell® Kit and the bar code on the Maxwell® Deck Trays, the Promega Portal software does the rest. Portal monitors where each sample is placed in the Deck Tray, which Maxwell® kit was used, and passes this information directly to the Maxwell® Instrument for walk-up extraction.
Increased Traceability
The Promega Portal software tracks samples as they move from one module to the next. The Portal software automatically shares sample IDs and recommends protocols for next steps as you move from one module to the next. Portal Access software provides browser-based access to the sample tracking, run and concentration data present in Portal software.
Service and Support
Our instruments are backed by a comprehensive standard warranty, expert service and a full line of additional service products. With a comprehensive menu of service and support options, you can be confident that your equipment will be working properly and ready when you need it. Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ) and Preventive Maintenance (PM) services ensure that your instrument is fully functional and provide documentation that the instrument is operating to defined specifications.
The Maxprep® Liquid Handler is installed by qualified Promega personnel who will test the instrument, document installation actions and train lab personnel to successfully operate the instrument.
