Magnetic-bead nucleic acid extraction system

Magnetic-bead nucleic acid extraction automation across MultiEX throughput tiers

For labs comparing bead-based DNA extraction automation, protocol control, and kit IFU fit — confirm compatibility before validation and purchase inquiry.

How magnetic-bead nucleic acid extraction works on MultiEX

Magnetic-bead nucleic acid extraction uses paramagnetic particles to bind DNA and RNA during lysis and washing, then elute purified nucleic acids into a final volume. MultiEX instruments automate pipetting, mixing, heating, and magnetic separation steps.

  • Programmable lysis, binding, wash, and elution temperatures (37°C to 125°C)
  • Adjustable mixing levels and stirring up to 10 Hz (vendor-stated)
  • Magnetic rod and sleeve consumables per manufacturer specifications
  • Open-system design supports multiple kit suppliers with IFU confirmation

Evaluation checklist

DNA extraction system procurement should start with sample type, throughput, and kit chemistry — not assumed universal compatibility.

  • Confirm kit IFU lists your sample matrix and elution volume needs
  • Match samples-per-run to daily batch size and shift planning
  • Compare 016, 032, and 096P for standard microliter input classes
  • Route large-volume DNA or diluted targets to MultiEX 024L guidance
