3.3.5 MagNA Pure Compact Accessories
All MagNA Pure Compact Accessories described below can be ordered separately. For
ordering information see chapter C, Ordering Guide.
1 Cartridge Rack
The cartridge stage holds the cartridge rack, where the individual prefilled reagent/pro-
cessing cartridges (up to 8 per purification run) are inserted. The Cartridge Rack can be
equipped in and outside of the instrument.
2 Tube Rack
In row 1, the Tube Rack holds up to 8 sample tubes (capacity 2.0 ml), which are provided
with the purification kits. If you are running an Internal Control, you can purchase up to
8 additional sample tubes (capacity 2.0 or 1.5 ml) from Sarstedt and place them in row 2
(the Internal Control Tube Rack). (For details see the Related Products section in Chapter
C). In row 3, primary sample tubes (not provided) may be placed prior to starting the
purification process. To discriminate it from row 1 and 2 the positions of row 3 have a
wider diameter.
The rack has numbered positions (1-8) and can stand upright on e.g. a bench. The tubes
can be screwed down with one hand, as they are secured against turning by a mechanical
anti-twist device.
Note: To ensure correct pipetting, use only these recommended types of tubes for the
Internal Control: 2.0 ml Sarstedt Tubes (without cap: Sarstedt #72.608; with cap: Sarstedt
#72.693).
