IsoPure™ Mini

Automated System for Magnetic Bead-Based Purification

• Compatible with all popular magnetic bead kits

• Touch screen panel for on-board programming and operation

• Process up to 96 samples in deep-well plates

• 8-position carousel with 2 heating blocks

• Sample volume 50µl – 1000µl

Programming via Android™ App or PC Software

Creating a protocol is simple using the IsoPure app or PC software, both are included on a USB flash drive with each instrument.  Mixing speed, sample temperature, and magnetization parameters can be all be programmed.   When using the IsoPure app on an Android device, the saved protocols can be transferred to the instrument via Bluetooth connection or by using the included barcode scanner. The PC software can be used for programming and transferring by USB connection or barcode scanner. Free, lifetime App updates are available so users can access newly available features as they are introduced.

QR Code Scanning System

A handheld scanner is included with each IsoPure™ Mini, adding a convenient and fast method for loading a protocol onto the instrument. After creating or opening a protocol on a companion Android device or a connected PC, an option is available for displaying a QR code.  Simply scan the QR code to instantly transfer the protocol.  QR codes are also available in kit instruction manuals for instant loading of optimized programs.

Protocol Optimization

Accuris Instruments has partnered with leading magnetic bead kit manufacturers to develop and optimize protocols for specific applications. To request scripts for specific kits, or for assistance in optimization, please contact the IsoPure™ Technical Support Team at info@accuris-usa.com.

Sample Temperature Control

Heating  sample mixtures during the lysis and elution steps can significantly improve results. Heating strips on the sample platform can be precisely set to any temperature between ambient +5°C to 120°C.  Both deep well plates and 6-well reagent vessels fit into the contoured heating strips for efficient heat transfer. Two cooling fans maintain ambient temperature inside the housing and temperature of the heating strips.

Connection Ports 

The IsoPure™ Mini can store up to 100 protocol files in internal memory. These can be transferred between instruments or to a computer for storage or sharing. Simply insert the included flash drive to export the selected files. Internal protocol management can be done via the instrument touch screen, or by using the included mouse.

UV Sterilization

An ultraviolet sterilization lamp (UVC) inside the processing chamber provides effective elimination of most bacterial, viral and stray genomic DNA contaminants.  This additional safeguard reduces the possibility of contamination and downstream amplification of unwanted targets.

Touch-Screen Control Panel

The control panel on top of the IsoPure™ Mini allows for quick selection of stored protocols and instrument control.  To execute a protocol, select it from the file list, insert a prepared sample plate (or 6-well reagent vessel) and tip combs, and press the start button.  Run parameters and operating status are displayed during sample processing.

IsoPure™ Consumables

Accuris offers magnetic tip combs, deep well plates, and 6-well sample strips designed to fit the IsoPure™ Mini.  Produced using virgin polypropylene and packaged in a sterile environment, these consumables are guaranteed to be contaminant-free.  The 8-place magnetic tip combs lock into position inside the instruments processing chamber.  There are 2 options for sample vessels: 96 deep-well plates or 6-well sample strips.  For processing up to 16 samples, deep well plates are used.  When only 8 or fewer samples need to be processed, the 6-well sample strips are ideal, and these are loaded onto the included aluminum rack.  These sample strips reduce waste and lower consumable costs when only a few samples need to be processed.
