Maxwell® 16 System

Personal Automation™ for the Clinical Lab

HLA/Transplant

The Maxwell® 16 system brings Personal Automation™ to low- to moderate-throughput automated DNA extraction from blood or buffy coat. Using this tool, clinical laboratories can improve efficiency while ensuring consistent results.

 

High Yield


Legend: DNA yield and concentration from blood samples obtained from 5 individual donors. For whole blood processing, 400µl of sample was processed. For buffy coat processing, either 250µl or 500µl of buffy coat fraction was processed.

 

No Detectable Cross-Contamination




Legend: DNA was purified from alternating 300µl blood samples obtained from male (M) and female (F) donors. Extracted DNA was subjected to qualitative PCR, and the amplification products visualized
on a gel.

 

Consistent Results




Legend: DNA purified from blood samples obtained from 6 individual donors. Panel A: Aliquots from each sample were resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis. Lane M, Lambda DNA/Hind III markers. Panel B: Equal volumes of each sample were amplified by PCR. Lane M, DNA ladder; Lane B, No template control.
