Maxwell® 16 Forensic Instrument

The Maxwell® 16 Forensic Instrument provides easy-to-use, consistent and reliable automated nucleic acid extraction of one to 16 samples, bar-code sample tracking, a touch-screen interface and UV decontamination. Both AS3060 instrument packages include the bar-code reader, UV light and Maxwell® Sample Track Software. You choose either low elution volume (50–100μl, LEV) or standard elution volume (300–400μl, SEV) format. Run report data can be transferred from the Maxwell® 16 Forensic Instrument to a PC or to an external printer. Data transferred to a PC can be uploaded to a laboratory information management system...

Run report data can be transferred from the Maxwell® 16 Forensic Instrument to a PC or to an external printer. Data transferred to a PC can be uploaded to a laboratory information management system (LIMS). The Maxwell® 16 Forensic Instrument is labeled as General Purpose Laboratory Equipment (GPLE) in the USA. For the rest of the world, it is intended for research use only.

Features - Benefits

• Fast, Hands-Free Purification: Improves workflow, and allows staff to perform other value-added tasks.
• Consistent, Reliable Performance: Less rework; confidence in results.
• Ease of Use: Immediate productivity gains; minimal operator training required.
• Small Size: Takes up less room on the lab bench. Fits inside biosafety cabinet or hood.
• Bar-Code Sample Tracking Capability: Eliminates sample mixup, and data can be integrated into LIMS.
• UV Light: Helps decontamination.

Applications

• Provides general-purpose nucleic acid extraction from whole blood, buffy coat, cells, fresh or frozen tissue, FFPE tissue and other sample types.
