Maxwell® 16 DNA Purification Kits Product Datasheet
Researchers are always looking to improve productivity. So there is more time to focus on things that advance research. Automation allows scientists to focus on science instead of routine nucleic acid or recombinant protein purification. Consistent and reliable purification of genomic DNA, total RNA or recombinant proteins from blood, cells, tissue or other sample types improves the quality of your results. Plus turnaround time is greatly reduced. It's just what today's research lab demands. That's Maxwell.
A developmental biology lab using transgenic mice spent several days per week performing manual genomic DNA extraction. Experimental results lagged and scientific manuscripts could not be submitted.
Lab members spent a lot of time pipetting reagents into columns. Not to mention the numerous steps moving tubes to and from the bench-top centrifuge. All of these manual steps reduced the time available to advance their research.
Implementing automation eliminated hands-on processing. More experiments could be designed and completed yielding publishable data. The lab was able to stay at the front of the field and obtain additional research funding.
