Maintain Electronic Records Easily
Maxwell® CSC 48 makes maintaining electronic records easy with complete tracking of every run and reports that are portable and LIMS-compatible. The instrument supports 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for electronic records (user authentication and authorization, data integrity and protection, electronic signatures and audit trails) when used with the appropriate laboratory workflow.
Fewer Cross-Contamination Worries with a Paramagnetic Particle Mover
The Maxwell® CSC 48 Instruments are magnetic particle movers, not liquid handlers. As no liquid handling or splashing occurs during sample processing there is minimal risk of cross-contamination.
