Fewer Cross-Contamination Worries with a Paramagnetic Particle Mover

The Maxwell® CSC is a magnetic particle mover, not a liquid handler. It delivers minimal risk of cross-contamination because no liquid handling or splashing happens during processing of the samples.

Maxwell® CSC 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. Press “Start” to purify 1–16 samples using the selected kit’s preprogrammed method.
