MagRo™ 8-M robotic workstation
Purification made easy

The MagRo™ 8-M robotic workstation is a fully automated solution for magnetic particle sample purification and liquid handling.

With its proprietary PickPen® technology, MagRo™ 8-M collects and resuspends magnetic particles in fast and simple purification protocols. Efficient incubation and washing steps ensure high-quality results.

• Integrated magnetic particle processing and liquid handling - No need for separate integration of two or more devices. Single supplier benefit.

• Air displace liquid handling - No waste volumes. No clogging of tubes. No carryover risk. No need for cleaning.

• PickPen® technology - Easy and reliable purification process. No other equipment needed. No harmful substances.

• Open system for integration - Can be integrated into a larger environment with robots, stackers and liquid dispensers.

• Open software - Purification processes can easily be adapted to various needs. The user can add new processes any time.

Solutions for variable throughput needs
MagRo 8-M bridges the gap between manual tools and high throughput automation. It processes 8 wells at a time in batch sizes of up to 96 samples per run, depending on the application. Samples can be loaded in tube or microplate format, and both standard and deep-well plates are suitable for direct loading, so there is no need for dedicated labware.

The MagRo 8-M is ideal for different types of research purposes due to its openness and the ease of customizing process protocols.

Robust technology with high precision and maximum flexibility
By integrating magnetic particle processing and liquid handling into one flexible instrument, MagRo 8-M carries out both pre- and post purification pipetting. With its small footprint, MagRo 8-M saves costly and limited lab space without compromising on performance.

Various options to increase functionality
The MagRo 8-M robotic workstation can be equipped with options such as a plate stacker, a barcode reader for scanning the tubes and a plate shaker, with or without heating for incubations.
