Enhance efficiency in your lab by integrating the Maxprep® Liquid Handler with GloMax® Instruments to automate setup of quantitation assays and tracking interpolated sample concentration data

Flexible, Automated Nucleic Acid Purification

The Maxwell® Instruments work with a variety of sample types, including human blood, cells and tissues. With fast and easy protocols, prefilled cartridges and preprogrammed methods, you get reliable and consistent nucleic acid purification with the flexibility to process only the sample number you need. You can process anywhere from 1 to 48 samples with the Maxwell® Instruments.

Add Automated Sample Processing to Your Workflow

The Maxprep® Liquid Handler works with the Maxwell® Instruments you already have in your lab. Build a modular system for a complete, automated sample processing workflow. Modules can all be connected to Portal Access software to share information.

Reliable

Using prefilled cartridges and preprogrammed methods reduces the potential for user error. Purified nucleic acids are compatible with a wide range of downstream applications such as PCR, qPCR, Sanger and next-generation sequencing (NGS), microarrays and digital PCR.

Automated sample tracking and processing

Efficient

Automating nucleic acid extraction frees up your time. The integrated quantitation eliminates the need to re-enter sample IDs and creates a streamlined, simple sample tracking report that easily exports to your laboratory notebook.

Intuitive

Maxwell® software is so easy to use and intuitive that you’ll be able to set up and perform your first run in a matter of minutes after initial instrument setup.

Confident

The large LED Indicator provides visual run status, and an integrated vision system on the Maxwell® RSC 48 Instrument detects proper cartridge setup and further reduces the potential for user error.

Keep Track of Your Samples through Every Step

Create a virtual purification assembly line, preparing Maxwell® cartridges on the Maxprep® Liquid Handler and purifying them using your Maxwell® Instruments. You can place your instruments anywhere in the laboratory and sample tracking information will be communicated from one device to the next. Simply transfer the Maxwell® deck tray from one instrument to the next and all the sample information will be ready for you to process.

Maxprep and maxwell instruments provide a complete workflow solution for pre-processing, automated DNA extraction and post-processing

Sample Tracking

The Maxprep® Liquid Handler automatically scans the sample bar codes as they are placed into the instrument. Once you scan the desired Maxwell® Kit and the bar code on the Maxwell® Deck Trays, the Promega Portal software does the rest. Portal monitors where each sample is placed in the Deck Tray, which Maxwell® kit was used, and passes this information directly to the Maxwell® Instrument for walk-up extraction.

Increased Traceability

The Promega Portal software tracks samples as they move from one module to the next. The Portal software automatically shares sample IDs and recommends protocols for next steps as you move from one module to the next. Portal Access software provides browser-based access to the sample tracking, run and concentration data present in Portal software.
