Introduction
As laboratories try to improve productivity, the need has increased for easy-to-use, low- to moderate-
throughput automated purification processes. The Maxwell
automated purification from a wide range of sample types. The instrument is supplied with
preprogrammed automated purification methods and is designed for use with predispensed reagent
cartridges, maximizing simplicity and convenience. The instrument can process up to 16 samples in
approximately 15–40 minutes (depending on sample type and method). Purified concentrated products
are obtained at high quality and high yield and can be used directly in a variety of downstream
applications.

The Maxwell
solid phase that optimizes capture, washing and elution of the target material. The Maxwell
Instrument is a magnetic-particle-handling instrument that efficiently preprocesses liquid and solid
samples, transports the PMPs through purification reagents in the pre-filled cartridges, and mixes
efficiently during processing. The efficient magnetic particle-based methodology used by the Maxwell
Instrument avoids common problems associated with automated purification systems, such as clogged tips
or partial reagent transfers, which can result in suboptimal purification. Several Maxwell
are available that allow optimal purification from a variety of sample types.
