Preinstalled Optimized Protocols for Maximum Results
ExiPrep™ 16 Plus contains over 900 optimized protocols for nucleic acid extraction and
protein purification. Each protocol is fine-tuned to sample and target type to give anybody reproducible results every
experiment.
The instrument software can also be upgraded through the network connection port so you can stay up-to-date
with the best performing protocols.
Easy-to-use Touchscreen interface
The responsive 3.5 inch touchscreen enables simple instrument operation. From selecting sample-optimized protocols to
turning the UV sterilization lamp on and off, the touchscreen is designed for optimal workflow. During instrument
operation, the touchscreen will give real-time feedback on the progress of the extraction, maximizing user convenience.
Automatic UV Sterilization Lamp
The ExiPrep™ 16 Plus has a powerful UV sterilization lamp that enables the user to
sterilize the instrument chamber before and/or after every nucleic acid extraction or protein purification run. This
prevents possible inter-assay cross-contamination that may occur on a busy work day.
Contamination Shield
ExiPrep™ 16 Plus comes with a contamination shield designed to protect the assay from
cross-contamination during instrument operation. Any time the pipette tips are moving, the
contamination shield will slide under the tips, therefore eliminating the possibility of intra-assay
cross-contamination which is critical when working with multiple samples.
Combined Magnetic/Heating Block
To increase nucleic acid extraction and protein purification efficiency, the ExiPrep™ 16 Plus has an integrated combined magnetic/heating block.
The combination of bead magnetization and sample heating reduces experiment time and increases elution efficiency, resulting in increased sample yield.
