chemagic Prepito: Technology

This innovative instrument realizes cost effectiveness through automated dispensing of buffers into standard plastic devices instead of using expensive prefilled cartidges. It includes barcode reading to provide comfort and to support highest quality assurance demands. Hands-on time is minimized. Processing time is as short as 30 min. for 1 or up to 12 samples per batch.

The chemagic Prepito achieves separation by metal rods that are magnetised by an external, on and off switchable magnet and that are immersed into the several process solutions (see animation). To enable the often complicated resuspension step of once separated magnetic particle pellets e.g. in wash or elution buffers, the magnet can be switched off. Resuspension is then realized by rotation of the rods guaranteeing the efficient, complete and smooth resuspension of the bead pellet. This normally difficult step becomes now quick and thorough, resulting in isolation products with both high yields and purities.
