Yourgene® MagBench™ cfDNA Extraction solution is helping our users maximise their time whilst optimising results for their Sage™ 32 NIPT Workflow.
MagBench™ is a simple, fast, cost-efficient, bench-top solution which reduces manual errors, increases efficiency, permits longer walkaway time and improves accuracy thanks to automated cfDNA extraction.
Why Choose MagBench™
A fast run time of 93 minutes ensures samples can quickly be fed into the next step of the NIPT Workflow for significant time savings and a substantial improvement in the laboratory’s operational efficiency:
- Requiring only 15 minutes hands-on time, the cfDNA extraction solution is optimised to permit true walkaway capability
- The intuitive touchscreen user interface is easy to navigate and allows for quick-start of the extraction process
- A dedicated, automated extraction programme allows 78 mins walkaway time
The MagBench™ cfDNA Extraction Solution for Sage™ NIPT Workflow
Using MagBench™, the automated extraction process reduces the risk of human error whilst improving the accuracy and consistency of pipetting:
- Tips are single-use and disposed of automatically to reduce contamination risk
- Automated UV programme ensures the instrument is thoroughly decontaminated to eliminate carry-over risk on subsequent runs
This results in a lower failure rate, a reduction in the number of repeats and a reduced redraw rate for the NIPT workflow
Users have the freedom to choose the level of plexing they desire. The MagBench™ cfDNA Extraction Solution permits flexible throughput of 1 – 16 samples, with:
- No need to batch samples
- No waste of consumables on partial runs, thanks to the cfDNA extraction kits pre-aliquotted reagents
Yourgene® MagBench™ cfDNA Extraction Kit
Specially optimised for use with MagBench™ cfDNA Extraction Instrument, in a convenient plug-and-play format for extraction of cfDNA from maternal blood samples for Sage™ 32 NIPT Workflow:
- All reagents arrive pre-measured, with all tips and consumables required for extraction already included
- Kits benefit from 18 months shelf life and can be stored at ambient temperature
- Individual packaging of tip sets ensures they are sterile and free from contaminants
- Cartridges are pre-sealed with no requirement to manually remove foil seal, thereby reducing the risk of cross-contamination or loss of reagents due to accidental spillage
- Instrument-automated piercing step maintains reservoirs of reagents until appropriate step of the extraction protocol
- Unique cross-notch tip design ensures pipetting of precise volumes and is more accurate than manual pipetting
