Description: The Maxwell ® 16 Forensic Instrument provides easy-to-use,
consistent and reliable automated nucleic acid extraction of one to 16 samples,
bar-code sample tracking, a touch-screen interface and UV decontamination.
Both AS3060 instrument packages include the bar-code reader, UV light
and Maxwell ® Sample Track Software. You choose either low elution volume
(50–100μl, LEV) or standard elution volume (300–400μl, SEV) format. Run
report data can be transferred from the Maxwell ® 16 Forensic Instrument to
a PC or to an external printer. Data transferred to a PC can be uploaded to a
laboratory information management system (LIMS). The Maxwell ® 16 Forensic
Instrument is labeled as General Purpose Laboratory Equipment (GPLE) in the
USA. For the rest of the world, it is intended for research use only.
Features:
• Fast, Hands-Free Purification: Improves workflow, and allows staff to
perform other value-added tasks.
• Consistent, Reliable Performance: Reduces the need for rework;
increases confidence in results.
• Easy-to-Use: Achieves immediate productivity gains with minimal operator
training required.
• Small Size: Takes up less room on the lab bench. Fits inside biosafety
cabinet or hood.
• Bar-Code Sample Tracking Capability: Eliminates sample mixup, and
data can be integrated into LIMS.
• UV Light: Helps decontamination.
Storage Conditions: Store at 15–40°C.

DNA IQ Reference Sample Kit for
Maxwell ® 16
Product Size Cat.# Price ($)
DNA IQ Reference Sample Kit for Maxwell ® 16 48 preps AS1040 Pls. Enq.
For Research Use Only. Not for Use in Diagnostic Procedures.
Description: The DNA IQ Reference Sample Kit for Maxwell ® 16 is
designed specifically for optimal DNA extraction from buccal swabs, FTA ®
blood card punches, liquid blood or other high-concentration DNA reference
samples. These samples are typically encountered in forensic, convictedoffender
database and paternity testing. The kit contains the same trusted
reagents used in the DNA IQ System in a convenient prepackaged format
and is optimized to yield a final DNA concentration that minimizes the need for
concentration or dilution prior to amplification. Liquefied samples are placed
directly in the cartridges, and genomic DNA ready for amplification is obtained
in approximately 20 minutes.
The Maxwell ® 16 Instrument allows efficient, automated DNA purification from a
wide range of sample types. The instrument is preprogrammed with purification
protocols that, when combined with prefilled reagent cartridges, maximize
simplicity and convenience. The instrument processes up to 16 samples per
instrument run. The purified DNA is of high quality and at high yield and concentration,
suitable for direct use in a variety of downstream applications. The
Maxwell ® 16 Instrument, a magnetic-particle-handling device, purifies DNA
using paramagnetic particles, allowing optimal capture, washing and elution of
the target material.
The Maxwell ® 16 Instrument includes a one-year basic warranty. Several products
are offered to extend the warranty. If during the extended warranty period
the instrument needs repair under normal use, Promega will be responsible for
the repair. Premium warranties offer similar terms and the use of a temporary
replacement instrument during the instrument repair period. Please contact
Promega for complete warranty terms and limits.
Features:
• Maximize Your Time: Automating DNA extraction reduces hands-on
bench time spent manually extracting DNA.
• Gain Confidence in Your Results: Instrument design, optimized
reagents and automated methods provide consistent yield and purity.
• Use Trusted DNA IQ Chemistry: The DNA IQ System is the recognized
leader in automated DNA extraction chemistries and is included in
the prefilled Maxwell ® 16 reagent cartridges.
Storage Conditions: Store at 22–25°C.
