(PA) Baesweiler, March 31st 2009, the chemagen AG, Germany, introduces the chemagic 8, a customized solution for the entire laboratory workflow process. This particular lab in a box facilitates primary sample handling via Nucleic Acid isolation to diagnostics and storage with minimized hands on time in a fully automated way – that´s the chemagic AID.

The chemagic 8 combines 8 different features in an outstanding manner. The entire laboratory workflow processes such as primary sample handling via Nucleic Acid isolation to diagnostics and storage are fully automated. Due to minimized hands on time cross contaminations are almost impossible.

Its modular setup makes the chemagic 8 extraordinary flexible. Extensions, integrations and updates can be easily facilitated due to 8 axes that allow 360° movements of this prototype. In-process sample loading enables operating day and night at seven days/week. Once the primary probe is placed in, the chemagic AID takes over all subsequent duties.

The 8 main features at a glance:

1. Automated

• From primary sample via NA preparation to diagnostics and storage

2. Modular

• Extensions, integrations and updates can be easily facilitated

3. Reliable

• Approved technologies are included such as the chemagic Magnetic Separation Module I

• Reproducible results

4. Save

• No cross contamination

• Barcode reading prevent sample mix-up

5. Fast

• Variable speed

• Time consuming processes are done automatically

6. Efficient

• Cost effective

7. Flexible

• 8 axes allow 360° movement

8. 24/7

• Operates day and night (24 h and 7 days/week)

• In-process sample loading possible

• Minimized hands on time

• Maximum throughput

These particular 8 features are visualized in an animated film that can be ordered at or via download at https://www.chemagen.de/147.80.html .

The chemagic 8 was developed as customized solution in collaboration with ABBIS bio process automation. Thus this particular prototype is currently under construction. More or other features can be realized due to the requirements of the laboratory workflow.

About chemagen AG

chemagen Biopolymer-Technologie AG, located in Germany, is a key player in the field of automated nucleic acid isolation. The purification of DNA or viral DNA/RNA is facilitated through chemagen’s proprietary M-PVA Magnetic Bead technology. chemagen’s high performance instrument is the chemagic Magnetic Separation Module I (chemagic MSM I). It enables automated separation of nucleic acids from sample volumes between 10 µl – 10 ml. Available kit applications include sample materials such as blood, serum/plasma, tissue, saliva, buccal swabs, amniotic fluid or faeces. With the chemagic Prepito, chemagen offers a benchtop walk-away instrument relying upon the proven separation process for up to 600 µl blood and 1 – 12 samples in parallel.

Outstanding robustness, minimal hands on time and fast automated applications translate to the highest throughput and flexibility of your laboratory workflow.
