This system features a unique magnetic head protected by a disposable bead capture strip to prevent contamination. A custom-EXTRACTMAX™ combines the tried-and-tested automation of Gilson’s personal pipetting robot, PIPETMAX®, with an innovative manual magnetic bead extraction platform, EXTRACTMAN®. This system features a unique magnetic head protected by a disposable bead capture strip to prevent contamination. A custom-designed plate accommodates the sample and three wash steps, followed by a final elution, all while processing up to four samples in parallel.
FAST, HIGH-YIELD, AND HIGH-PURITY ISOLATIONS WITHOUT LONG WASHING STEPS Achieve rapid isolations with high yield and purity without the need for prolonged washing steps, thanks to our exclusive Exclusion-based Sample Preparation (ESP™) technology. EXTRACTMAX effectively captures weakly bound protein complexes without subjecting them to the high shear forces of traditional pipetting wash steps, ensuring no contamination, dilution, or loss of the original sample.
REPRODUCIBILITY With walk-away automation, EXTRACTMAX allows for hands-free operation, eliminating variability between users and enabling consistent results and reliable day-to-day comparisons.
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL The dual head enables both liquid handling operations and magnetic bead manipulations, increasing versatility and efficiency
SAFE AND EFFICIENT Extract up to four samples simultaneously, speeding up the process and freeing the user for more important tasks.
AUTONOMY Full software control of the process allows the use of a wide range of magnetic beads and kits, offering flexibility and convenience....

New users gain a higher-capacity automation system built on proven pipetting principles, while existing PIPETMAX users can expand throughput with minimal disruption by leveraging the same trusted technology at a larger scale. The system supports a broad range of plate formats and configurations, delivering consistent, reproducible liquid handling across bioassays, qPCR, and NGS workflows. Modular design allows heating, shaking, cooling, and UV/HEPA options to be added as workflows evolve, rather than forcing redesigns or platform changes. Built-in tip intelligence helps manage consumable use efficiently at scale, while continued compatibility with standard PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tips keeps processes familiar, controlled, and cost-effective as automation expands....

NGS Automation Designed for Throughput and Flexibility PIPETMAX® 278 NGS is purpose-configured to support higher-throughput NGS library preparation, while remaining flexible enough to adapt as protocols, kits, and sequencing requirements evolve. Key features include:- Pre-configured NGS workstation ready to automate magnetic bead–based cleanup protocols such as the AMPure® XP bead-based protocol from Beckman Coulter®
- Large 16 position deck supporting multi-plate setups and extended walk-away runs
- Integrated magnetic bead rack enabling hands-free bead capture, washing, and elution with consistent timing
- Two interchangeable 8-channel pipetting heads (MAX8x20 and MAX8x200) supporting 1–200 µL transfers (up to 1200 µL with optional MAX4x1200 head)
- Built-in tip intelligence that automatically selects 1 to 8 tips per step for optimal speed and tip efficiency
- Accurate low-volume pipetting critical for reproducible bead cleanup and sequencing-ready libraries
- Uses standard PIPETMAN® DIAMOND Tips for cost-efficient automation without proprietary consumables
Together, these features allow labs to process more samples per run, reduce run-to-run and user-to-user variability, and scale NGS workflows with confidence without adding unnecessary complexity or compromising data quality.... Read More |
