MagNA Pure 96: Reliable Performance for High-Demand Laboratories
The MagNA Pure 96 from Roche is an automated nucleic acid purification system designed for laboratories handling high volumes of extractions while maintaining strict precision and consistency in results. Capable of processing up to 96 samples in parallel, it features two distinct robotic arms, enabling efficient and uniform processing with hands-on time reduced to less than 5 minutes. Extraction is based on proven glass magnetic bead technology, trusted for over 20 years for its reliability.
Its applications span a broad range, including genomic DNA, total RNA, viral DNA/RNA, and circulating cell-free nucleic acids (cfNA), extracted from a variety of sample types such as whole blood, plasma, FFPE tissues, respiratory specimens, and cell cultures. Pre-filled and barcoded reagent kits ensure complete traceability throughout the workflow, minimizing errors and meeting regulatory compliance requirements.
The system offers a wide selection of preloaded protocols tailored to common sample types encountered in both research and diagnostic settings. It delivers nucleic acid extracts ready for downstream applications such as real-time PCR, microarrays, and next-generation sequencing. One of the key strengths of the MagNA Pure 96 lies in its outstanding reproducibility, with a coefficient of variation (CV) below 2% for both intra- and inter-run performance.
Its graphical user interface guides operators step-by-step, from sample preparation to extraction launch. Built-in features such as error detection, volume monitoring, and deck control further enhance process security and reliability. In addition, integrated contamination prevention mechanisms—including a UV lamp, droplet catcher, and secure-fit pipette tips—help maintain result integrity.
The MagNA Pure 96 integrates seamlessly into modern laboratory workflows, offering LIMS compatibility, standardized data export options, and comprehensive user management. Its scalability, combined with consistently reliable results, makes it an ideal solution for high-throughput environments such as hospital laboratories, research facilities, and molecular biology labs.
