There is a growing need for truly high throughput, walk away solutions, for standard molecular biology processes, that allow the scientist to focus on experimental design and analysis and to work on several projects simultaneously. To address this demand, a Promega Twelve Plate Plasmid DNA Miniprep Wizard using Wizard* SV 96 reagents was developed for Beckman Coulter’s new liquid handler, the Biomek FX. This Wizard offers the user the ability of customizing a fully validated method for plasmid purification to suit their experimental needs.
Features
- Features a smart solution Wizard, allowing customized experimental parameters.
- Powerful software allows the user to choose from 2–12 plates in multiples of 2.
- Purifies up to 12 96-well plasmid plates in less than 3.5 hours (see Method Flowchart on Application Details page).
- New 36mm collar allows elution into standard titer plates.
- Dual wash stations provide efficient, cost saving, tip usage.
- Reagents places strategically in the center of the worksurface for optimum pod access (see deck layout in Figure 1 on Application Details page).
