Background & Objective
The extraction of RNA and DNA is a critical step in molecular diagnostics: it is prone to errors when performed manually and represents a bottleneck in automated workflows. HeatMagX solves this problem with a fully automated module that combines thermal lysis and magnetic bead separation in a compact housing.
Highlights
- Heating up to 99 °C directly in the sample liquid
- Magnetic bead separation for high-purity nucleic acid extraction
- Completely hands-free; no manual intervention required
- Seamless integration into existing laboratory automation systems
- Compact design for space-saving use
