Why labs evaluate the MultiEX 016
Molecular, clinical, and research labs that run smaller batches need a benchtop nucleic acid extractor without dedicating a full high-throughput line. The MultiEX 016 processes 1–16 samples per run on a 96-deep well plate with magnetic-bead separation.
Manufacturer specifications list 50–1000 µL processing volume, heating from 37°C to 125°C, eight mixing levels, and stirring up to 10 Hz. An auto-check function verifies plate and magnetic rod positioning before a run.
The open-system design supports magnetic-bead kits from multiple suppliers — confirm compatibility with your kit instructions for use (IFU) before validation.
- Throughput-fit automation
- Magnetic-bead workflow clarity
- Quote-first purchase path
- Workflow fit
- Automated bind, wash, and elute on vendor-specified plate formats.
- Kit approach
- Open-system magnetic-bead kits — confirm kit IFU before validation.
- Buying path
- Purchase inquiry with throughput, sample type, and volume class details.
