SX-8G IP-Star® Automated System
Description
SX-8G IP-Star® Automated System increases your epigenetic lab’s productivity, efficiency and experimental reproducibility. It performs fully-automated liquid handling, magnetic separation, and incubation, significantly accelerating the optimization process, while also enhancing assay quality and robustness -- all within the rapid timeframe researchers require. The SX-8G IP-Star processes sheared chromatin or DNA to deliver purified DNA ready for qPCR, amplification, microarray and sequencing (e.g. Illumina™) analysis.

Major benefits
Ideal protocol optimization
• Eliminates variation introduced by tools
• Eliminates variation introduced by operator
• Optimizes multiple parameters simultaneously
• Accounts for complex interactions between experimental factors
Time saving
• Improves time to result
• Dramatically reduce hands-on time
• Achieves flexible scheduling of experiments
Improves assay reproducibility
• Increases consistency with automated assay processing
• Achieves robust performance with validated reagents
Reduces contamination risk
Magnetic separation workflow
Magnetic beads are separated and captured on the inner wall of the pipette tip by a magnet that comes into contact with the tip. Liquid is released and the separated beads are moved to the next well. This technology allows for a cleaner assay with less carryover and background, differing from other systems that collect the bound DNA on the bottom of a reaction well.
