Clinical lab selection guide

Choosing a nucleic acid extractor for clinical laboratory workflows

A procurement-oriented guide for clinical labs comparing throughput, kit compatibility, and automation — not a diagnostic approval or IVD claim. Submit purchase inquiry for model-specific guidance.

Clinical lab DNA extraction automation criteria

Clinical laboratory extractor selection starts with daily sample volume, shift batching, and kit chemistry — not marketing superlatives. Match instrument throughput to your typical run size.

  • How many samples per batch and per shift?
  • Which magnetic-bead kit IFU covers your sample matrices?
  • Do you need standard microliter or large-volume input (024L class)?
  • What downstream plate format (16, 32, 96 wells) does your workflow require?

Model routing without IVD claims

This guide helps narrow MultiEX model fit. It does not claim diagnostic approval, clinical performance, or IVD clearance for any instrument or kit combination.

  • 016: smaller batches, compact footprint, optional battery (vendor-stated)
  • 032: mid-shift clinical batches with independent heating modules
  • 096P: full-plate throughput aligned with 96-well downstream workflows
  • 024L: large-volume input for qualified cfDNA and surveillance workflows
