ZEPHYRUS® Magneto

ZEPHYRUS® Magneto represents high quality sample preparation instrument based on proven magnetic particle separation technology. It utilizes many years experience in automated nucleic acid isolation and in combination with EliGene CE IVD kits it provides optimal solution for sensitive, accurate and cost effective diagnostic applications. Reagents are delivered by automated dispensing system instead of using expensive prefilled cartridges. The total hand on time is minimized with processing time about 50 minutes for 1 or up to 12 samples per batch.

ZEPHYRUS® Magneto use metal rods for magnetic separation that are magnetised by an external magnet. To enable the often complicated re-suspension step of once separated magnetic particle pellets e.g. in wash or elution buffers, the magnet can be switched off. Re-suspension is then realized by rotation of the rods guaranteeing the efficient, complete and smooth re-suspension of the bead pellet. Due to this solution this step becomes quick and thorough, resulting in isolation products with both high yields and purities respectively.
