MP Biomedicals, LLC, a leading provider of life science reagents, fine chemicals and diagnostic products for over 50 years, has launched the MPure-12™ System - an automated platform for the magnetic bead based purification of nucleic acids from a wide range of biological samples.

MPure-12™ system has an uniquely designed magnetic bead based processing chamber and is fully integrated with easy to use, sample specific, pre-packaged reagent kits to process a wide range of bio-specimens. This platform offers our customers superior yield, purity, reliable performance, flexibility and convenience, all at an affordable price. The system can process from one to twelve samples simultaneously and also incorporates features that eliminate any detectable cross contamination, nucleic acid loss and degradation, wastage of reagents, and simultaneously offer reproducibility, well-to-well consistency, scalability and ease-of-use.

"The MPure-12™ platform is one of the most advanced systems for the purification of nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) and offers superior yield and purity at an affordable price to our global customers. This system will be of value for anyone focused on genomics, NextGen Sequencing, epigenetics, gene expressions and forensic studies, all of which require DNA and RNA of the highest quality, purity and yield”, says Milan Panic, CEO and President. Mr. Panic was also the founder of the ICN Pharmaceuticals, from which MP Biomedicals was formed.

MPure-12™ platform incorporates new and innovative features that enable rapid and efficient purification of nucleic acids. These include the uniquely designed polygon reaction chamber, design of the liquid handling robotic platform, bar-code reader with pre-programmed protocol cards and a UV lamp. “We focus on innovation and have established ourselves as a global leader in sample preparation through the introduction of the FastPrep® system. MPure-12™ launch will enable us to continue our leadership position from sample preparation through purification”, says Milan Panic.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput. Alternative DNA amplification methods also include recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) kits.
