SX-8G / IP-Star™ Automated System

SX-8G IP-Star® Automated System is designed to increase your lab’s productivity, efficiency and experimental reproducibility. For ChIP, MeDIP & MBD assays, the system is capable of processing up to 16 samples per cycle. The robot processes sheared chromatin (or DNA) to deliver purified DNA ready for qPCR, amplification, microarray or sequencing (e.g. Solexa™) analysis. SX-8G IP-Star® has an easy-to-use open software that provides you with flexibility. This allows you to create your personal protocol according to your specific needs.
