AUTOMATED EXTRACTION
Sample prep expertise, now automated
High-quality DNA/RNA with less hands-on work—backed by MP’s sample prep expertise. Ready-to-Use kits for speed, plus customizable workflows for method development.
Load. Press start. Walk away.
Our MagBead-powered system handles the entire extraction run automatically — delivering consistent, high-purity DNA/RNA with minimal hands-on time.
Why automate nucleic acid extraction with MP Bio?
Ready-to-Use MagBeads kits + flexible automation + fast processing
Consistency
Designed for reliable runs
- Ready-to-use kits reduce variability
- Stored protocols support repeatable runs
- Temperature control for demanding methods
Contamination control
Built-in controls help reduce carryover risk.
- Fewer open steps than manual workflows
- Internal UV sterilization (both systems)
- Automation helps reduce contamination risk
Productivity
Flexible batch sizes—from 1 to 96 samples.
- Run small batches without wasted consumables
- Touch screen control—no PC required
- Walk-away runs: load, start, return
Which automation platform fits your workflow?
Both systems support Ready-to-use MagBeads kits and customizable workflows, but they fit different throughput needs.
High throughput for 1-96 samples
- Best for: high-throughput labs that still need smaller-batch flexibility
- Up to 6 plates/run, holding 16 samples per plate
- Supports small batches with adapter option: up to 48 individual samples/run
- Rotary mixing to reduce aerosols and cross-contamination risk
- 1000+ protocols plus ready-to-use and customizable workflows
Mid-throughput for 1-32 samples
- Best for: smaller labs running steady lower-volume extraction workflows
- Up to 2 plates/run, holding 16 samples per plate
- Supports small batches with adapter option: up to 16 individual samples/run
- UV + temperature control for consistent results
- One-touch protocols for all kits with option to customize

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common setup and workflow questions.
No. Both systems and Ready-to-use MagBeads kits are for research use only (RUO).
MagFlex-96 supports 1–96 samples/run. MPure-32 supports 1–32 samples/run.
Not for routine operation. Both systems are run from the touch screen, though MPure-32 program setup/import may require a computer.
Many workflows complete in ~30–60 minutes; run time depends on the method and sample type.
Yes. Optional adapters support individual samples—up to 48/run on MagFlex-96 or 16/run on MPure-32.
A specialist confirms sample type, throughput, and goals, then shares a recommended configuration and schedules a demo.
