The Maxwell CSC RNA Blood Kit is intended for use as an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical device, in combination with the Maxwell CSC Instrument, to provide an easy method for efficient, automated purification of RNA from 2.5ml fresh human whole blood collected in EDTA tubes. The Maxwell CSC Instrument is supplied with preprogrammed purification methods. It is designed for use with the predispensed reagent cartridges and additional reagents supplied in the kit, thereby maximizing simplicity and convenience. The instrument can process up to 16 samples in approximately 60 minutes, and the purified RNA can be used directly in a variety of amplification-based downstream applications, such as RT-PCR.
