The SAW-48 Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction Station (hereinafter referred to as “SAW-48”), produced by Jiangsu Bioperfectus Technologies Co., Ltd., is an in vitro diagnostic medical device that integrates advanced mechanical, electronic, and software technologies. The SAW-48 combines sample loading, nucleic acid purification, and PCR setup functions into a single piece of equipment. The typical execution time is less than 45 minutes for 1–48 samples.
Based on proven magnetic separation technology, the SAW-48 offers high-throughput automation combined with high performance, promoting increased laboratory productivity to meet varying demands. With non-contact dispensing of samples, reagents, and PCR reagents, the system is safe and simple for operators, while also saving time and costs for the laboratory.
Integrated station
“Walk-away” system from the primary sample tube to the PCR-ready tube, including sample loading, nucleic acid purification, and PCR setup.
Customizable workflow
Pre-programmed protocols adaptable to different needs.
High speed
Processing of 1–48 samples with the entire process completed in 45 minutes.
User-friendly design
Visual interface with functions displayed in real-time within the software.
Better contamination control
UV light, HEPA filter, and electrostatic filter help prevent aerosols in the internal environment. Scientific zoning, a pipetting device with a leak-proof design, and filtered tips increase the level of prevention against cross-contamination.
