Maxwell® 16 System

Personal Automation™ for the Clinical Lab

Molecular Pathology

The Maxwell® 16 system brings Personal Automation™ to low- to moderate-throughput automated DNA extraction from FFPE tissue sections, tissue biopsies or cells in amniotic fluid, CSF or urine. Using this tool, clinical laboratories can improve efficiency while eliminating use of hazardous organic solvents.

 

Consistent Results


Legend: DNA was purified from human FFPE tissue sections (5 micron) and analyzed using the MSI Analysis System, Version 1.2 (Cat. #MD1641) on a capillary electrophoresis instrument.

 

DNA Virtually Free of PCR Inhibitors


Legend: DNA purified from FFPE sections (5 micron) from 3 different human tissues and quantified using real-time PCR. An internal PCR control (IPC) was amplified in all reactions indicating no PCR inhibitors present.

 

Purify from as little as 10 cells




Legend: DNA was purified from human cell lines added to CSF, amniotic
fluid or urine. Human DNA quantified using the Plexor® HY System
(Cat.# DC1000).
