Introduction
SAW-48 is an automated nucleic acid extraction machine that integrates sample loading, nucleic acid purification, and PCR setup in one compact instrument, helping laboratories move from primary sample tubes to PCR-ready tubes with less manual handling.
Built on magnetic separation technology, this automated nucleic acid extraction system supports high-throughput processing of 1–48 samples in less than 45 minutes. With non-contact dispensing for samples, reagents, and PCR reagents, SAW-48 helps improve workflow efficiency, reduce hands-on time, and enhance operational safety in molecular diagnostic laboratories.
Designed for laboratories that require reliable magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction, SAW-48 combines automation, performance, and contamination control in a walk-away workflow. It is also suitable for labs comparing automated nucleic acid extraction platforms for routine PCR-based testing and sample preparation.
Features
- Integrated station: Walk-away system from primary sample tube to PCR-ready tube, including sample loading, automated nucleic acid extraction and purification, and PCR setup operations
- Customizable Workflow: Pre-programmed protocols tailored to different requirements
- Fast Speed: 1-48 samples with the whole process in 45 minutes
- User-friendly design: visual interface with functions real-timely shown in software
- Better contamination control: UV light, HEPA filter, and the electrostatic filter will help prevent the inside environment from aerosols. Scientific zoning, a pipette device equipped with a leak-proof design, and filter pipette tips will enhance the anti-cross-contamination level.
