• The Chemagic systems are easy to set up, come with programmed protocols, and allows the users to track the running protocol’s progress during the process. 

Perkin Elmer Chemagic 360 exclusive technology for nucleic acid purification.

Unlike other automated nucleic acid purification instruments, the Chemagic ™ 360 uses transiently magnetized rods to attract magnetic beads after nucleic acid-binding. This key technological feature and the concerted rotation of the rods allow optimal mixing of the samples during the homogenization and washing steps, increasing the yield and purity of the extracted nucleic acid molecules.

Transferring the magnetic beads between the tubes minimizes the possibility of sample contamination between purification steps.
