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.

Maxwell® CSC 48 Makes it Easy to Set Up and Run Samples

Dual Mode Functionality

Extract high-quality DNA/RNA for downstream diagnostic amplification assays in IVD mode or extract samples for a variety of research applications in RUO mode.

Track Samples Easily

The integrated bar code reader records important information such as sample ID, kit ID and kit lot number.

Easy to Use

The intuitive touch screen interface lets you easily set up your purification run.

Reduce Processing Time

Place prepared cartridges in the Maxwell® CSC 48. Press “Start” to purify 1–48 samples using the selected kit’s preprogrammed method.

Works with Multiple Sample Types

To use a purification kit, you will need to load the appropriate method onto your Maxwell® CSC 48 Instrument.
