Nucleic acid extraction is the first step in molecular testing and is critical to lab efficiency. The MagNA Pure 24 System is a fully automated clinical sample extractor that delivers walk-away automation, while minimizing hands-on time and purification variability. The MagNA Pure 24 System is capable of extracting nucleic acids from a wide range of human sample types with a single universal reagent kit, offering customers the flexibility and standardization they need for their downstream workflow.

“The MagNA Pure 24 System builds on the legacy of the MagNA Pure family of products and is designed to meet current and future needs of molecular testing laboratories,” said Uwe Oberlaender, Head of Roche Molecular Diagnostics. “To those who value the importance of starting their genomic workflow with highly purified nucleic acids, this new system will offer significant benefits.”
