Fewer Cross-Contamination Worries with a Paramagnetic Particle Mover
The Maxwell® CSC is a magnetic particle mover, not a liquid handler. It delivers minimal risk of cross-contamination because no liquid handling or splashing happens during processing of the samples.

Maxwell® CSC Makes it Easy to Set Up and Run Samples
