BD Diagnostics Instrument Systems MAX Molecular Diagnostic Testing System

**The BD Prewarm Heater and Monitor pictured is included with this BD MAX System

• The BD Pre-warm heater P/N 442950 is intended to pre-warm samples according to assay-specific, instrument-defined protocols for use with BD instrument systems.

• Independent nucleic acid extraction and purification
• PCR amplification using thermal cycling across 24 lanes
• Real time detection of products of amplification
• Identification of each Sample Buffer tube by external barcode reader
• Work List verification by internal barcode reader
• Fluorescence detection at up to five wavelengths, allowing multiplex reactions by Cycle threshold (Ct) call, or multiplex reactions by melt analysis
• Qualitative, quantitative and melt sample analysis

• Integrated and fully-automated extraction and thermocycling steps
• Processes and analyzes up to 24 specimens per run
• On-board lysis and extraction with pre-filled reagent strips
• Real-time PCR with two 24-lane microfluidic PCR readers
