What Maxwell Users Are Saying
Maxwell® instruments are used together with cartridge-based purification kits to quickly extract DNA or RNA from many different sample types. The automated purification process consistently delivers quality nucleic acid, freeing up scientists’ time for other important work.
It saves me in total about 40 minutes per 12 samples, and I do 4 runs per day, so that is almost half a day.

It really is the workhorse of our lab in terms of DNA extraction… allowing us to process multiple samples at once with minimal hands-on time.

Genomics Begins with Purification
The Maxwell® instrument uses Paramagnetic Particle Mover Technology that prevents clogging and cross contamination because there is no liquid handling.
