FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The MagC 9600 and MagC 384 instruments are compatible with a variety of magnetic bead-based nucleic acid extraction kits, providing flexibility for different protocols. The plug-and-play design means the instruments do not require air or water hook-ups, making them simple to install and operate right out of the box.

The MagC DNA extraction instruments are suitable for extraction DNA from a wide range of biological samples, including leaf, seed, animal tissues, blood, fungi, bacteria, and cultured cells.

The MagC 9600 can process up to 96 samples per run, MagC 384 can process up to 384 samples per run, both completing the extraction process in just 25-30 minutes.

The system is easy to set up following our step-by step user manual and mag pro extraction reagent manuals. The instruments have easy to use, touch screen iintuitive interfaces and a range of pre-loaded programs. The plug-and-play design means the instruments do not require air or water hook-ups, making them simple to install and operate right out of the box.

The instrument is equipped with a built-in UV lamp and an external HEPA filter with an independent airflow channel, effectively minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. The hands-free operation reduce manual error and contamination risk and improves purity and consistency.

The robust and compact design minimizes maintenance requirements, ensuring consistent and long-lasting performance. The instruments are offered with a Spares and Suuport Kit can be provided with first-line remote engineer access and essential spare parts, so that you can perform routine maintenance as required. For advanced assistance, our expert engineers provide on-site support to keep your instrument performing at its best.
