Purification process

MagCore bead technology

Cartridge design

MagCore® reagent cartridges are pre-sealed incorporating all reagents needed for the purification process. No additional reagents are required and no handling is necessary.
Pre-filled and sealed buffer cartridge and automated piercing step, it eliminates possible contaminations or buffer spout.
Patented Heating Well and Separation Well in the cartridge provide strong circulate force for Binding/Washing steps and give high purity in final eluent.
The MagCore® beads are pre-allocated into each cartridge in Well 4. Mixing of the beads, reagents and sample is achieved by the liquid handling action of the instrument. Separation is achieved by magnetic attraction and liquid handling.
