PerkinElmer's exclusive chemagic™ technology for nucleic acid purification
Unlike other automated nucleic acid purification instruments, the chemagic™ 360 uses transiently magnetized rods to attract the beads after binding to the nucleic acids. This key technological feature and the concerted rotation of the rods allow optimal sample mixing during the homogenization and washing steps, increasing the yield and purity of the extracted nucleic acid molecules. The transfer of the magnetic beads between tubes minimizes the possibility of sample contamination between purification steps.
