EasyMag and Maxwell

What does the Maxwell do?

provides automated nucleic acid purification

How does the Maxwell perform nucleic acid purification?

sample lysis and paramagnetic particles as the primary separation principle

Steps in Maxwell nucleic acid purification

1. sample lysis in the presence of a specially formulated lysis buffer

2. binding of nucleic acids to the paramagnetic particles

3. washing of the bound target molecules away from other cell components

4. elution of the product

What is the principle of EasyMag?

generic method of binding nucleic acids from complex biological samples with magnetic silica
