MagEx STAR series nucleic acid extraction workstation

Hamilton MagEx STARline Nucleic Acid Extraction Workstation

The events that occurred during the pandemic clearly demonstrate that countries that implemented strong diagnostic tests in the first round of transmission have contained the spread of the disease. In addition to the epidemic, extensive research on various infectious diseases has shown that early and accurate diagnosis has a profound and positive impact on patient prognosis, infection control measures, and medical costs.

In response to the high demand for testing during the outbreak of the epidemic, Hamilton has developed ready to use workstations (ARWs) MagExSTAR and MagExSTARlet for nucleic acid extraction. The MagExSTARline nucleic acid extraction workstation is based on magnetic bead method for nucleic acid extraction, providing a quick and readily available solution that complies with FDA and IVD regulatory requirements.

The workspace is equipped with modules and devices to meet the extraction requirements of high sample quantities. This product series is equipped with a 96 channel pipette head (MPH) that can perform parallel pipetting of multiple samples, achieving the highest process efficiency. MagExSTARlet can process 96 samples at once, while MagExSTAR can process 384 samples at once. Can integrate barcode readers to track each sample. This provides maximum reliability and process safety.

This ready to use workstation features standardized hardware, software packages, and a fixed tabletop layout, allowing us to develop and validate specific workflows. These standardized solutions can quickly apply the updated products of kit manufacturers and shorten the time for new validation workflows. The currently validated partners for reagent kits are:
