Purifies 1–48 samples in a single run
Designed and manufactured under cGMP
Generates consistent, high-quality nucleic acid for use in downstream diagnostic amplification assays
Flexible, multi-functional software with separate RUO mode for performing extractions intended for use in research applications
Provides technical elements supporting 21 CFR Part 11 compliance (user authentication and authorization, data integrity and protection, electronic signatures and audit trails) when used with the appropriate laboratory workflow
The Maxwell® CSC 48 automated nucleic acid extraction system is an in vitro diagnostic medical device specifically designed for clinical laboratories processing multiple samples for critical downstream assays. Manufactured under cGMP, the consistent performance of the Maxwell® CSC 48 Instrument assures extraction of high-quality DNA or RNA from every run.
A truly versatile instrument with dual-mode software for performing extractions from IVD kits and chemistries in IVD mode, and extractions for a broad range of research applications when operated in the RUO mode.
Currently only available in Korea and the United States.
Maintain Electronic Records Easily
Maxwell® CSC 48 makes maintaining electronic records easy with complete tracking of every run and reports that are portable and LIMS-compatible. The instrument supports 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records (user authentication and authorization, data integrity and protection, electronic signatures and audit trails) when used with the appropriate laboratory workflow.
Fewer cross-contamination worries with a paramagnetic particle mover
The Maxwell® CSC 48 Instruments are magnetic particle movers, not liquid handlers. As no liquid handling or splashing occurs during sample processing there is minimal risk of cross-contamination.
