Importing and Deleting Methods
As Promega provides new purification kits for use with the Maxwell
®
CSC 48 instrument, new
extraction methods can be added to the Maxwell
®
CSC 48 software. Occasionally, an existing
extraction method may have to be updated. Only administrators can add new extraction
methods or delete or update existing methods. Administrators can download new or updated
extraction methods from the Promega web site at:
