Promega Corporation announces the Maxwell 16 DNA purification system is now CE marked in accordance with the requirements of Directive 98/79/EC IVD. The new mark particularly helps European clinical laboratories performing
tests in molecular pathology and transplant HLA to achieve compliance with IVD directives in their countries. The new Maxwell 16 System (photo attached) supports DNA-based
tests performed on blood and buffy-coat by clinical labs, including sample preparation for human transplantation donormatching tests carried out by HLA labs. With Maxwell 16, up
to 16 DNA samples can be purified simultaneously, without user intervention,
in about 30 minutes, with higher yield and more consistency than similar methods.
