GenScript AmMag Quatro Automated Plasmid Purification System

GenScript has launched the AmMag Quatro automated plasmid purification system, which is designed to streamline maxi-scale, transfection-grade plasmid purification. The system features a controller capable of simultaneously operating up to four independent purification modules, along with pre-filled consumables and verified protocols. Each module can process up to six samples in one run, increasing throughput and efficiency, GenScript said. The system also leverages magnetic bead technology and related reagents to automate the entire maxi-scale purification process, reducing the risk of errors and improving reproducibility, the company said.
