Automated nucleic acid extraction

Automated nucleic acid extraction systems for bench, mid, high-throughput, and large-volume labs

For labs evaluating automated nucleic acid extraction — magnetic-bead automation, batch size, and kit compatibility across MultiEX 016, 032, 096P, and 024L before purchase inquiry.

What automated nucleic acid extraction means on MultiEX

Automated nucleic acid extraction replaces manual bind-wash-elute pipetting with programmable magnetic-bead workflows on a nucleic acid extraction system. MultiEX instruments span compact 16-sample batches through full 96-well plate runs and a large-volume tier for high-input workflows.

  • MultiEX 016: 1–16 samples per run for compact and field-deployable setups
  • MultiEX 032: 1–32 samples with independent heating modules
  • MultiEX 096P: up to 96 samples per run for full-plate throughput
  • MultiEX 024L: 1–24 samples with large-volume input per well (vendor-stated)

How to evaluate before purchase inquiry

Start with batch size and sample volume class, then confirm kit IFU compatibility and downstream plate alignment. Submit a purchase inquiry for availability, datasheet details, and quote.

  • Match samples-per-run to your typical batch and shift workflow
  • Confirm magnetic-bead kit IFU for your sample matrix
  • Use the model comparison page for side-by-side throughput and features
  • Route large-volume or cfDNA questions to the 024L product page

Frequently asked questions

Answers focused on practical buying and implementation questions from lab managers, scientists, and startup founders.

What is automated nucleic acid extraction?

Automated nucleic acid extraction runs lysis, binding, washing, and elution on an instrument using magnetic-bead kits on a plate. MultiEX systems cover 16, 32, 96, and large-volume sample counts — confirm kit IFU for your matrix.

How do I choose an automated nucleic acid extraction system?

Start with samples per run and input volume class, then confirm magnetic-bead kit IFU and downstream plate format. Use the compare page for side-by-side MultiEX specs or submit a purchase inquiry for model-specific guidance.

Can one system handle DNA and RNA extraction?

MultiEX instruments use open-system magnetic-bead kits — DNA and RNA are supported when your kit IFU covers the target and sample type. RNA workflows need stricter RNase control; see the automated RNA extraction page for routing to 032 and 096P.
