Rouba Najjar     Najjar: "Tell us about your workflow and major challenges."

Dr. Zhonghua Zhu
    

Zhu: "Before we started using the AmMag™ Quatro, we relied on traditional column-based kits for large-scale plasmid purification, which involved manual labor and was time-consuming. We needed to allocate two personnel and spend significant hours on the purification process. Despite following the purification kit protocols, we still had concerns about endotoxin levels and DNA quality for mammalian cell transfection."

Rouba Najjar     Najjar: "What attracted you to the AmMag™ Quatro?"

Dr. Zhonghua Zhu
    

Zhu: "We had been searching for a better solution for years and compared various options, but none met our requirements until we found the AmMag™ Quatro. What convinced us was its ability to provide simultaneous operation of up to 4 independent purification modules, with each module processing up to 6 samples in one run. The system leverages magnetic bead technology and related reagents, allowing us to automate the entire maxi-scale purification process with increased efficiency and higher throughput."

Rouba Najjar     Najjar: "How did the AmMag™ Quatro change your day-to-day workflow?"

Dr. Zhonghua Zhu
    

Zhu: "Since we started using the AmMag™ Quatro, our workflow has been transformed. We no longer need dedicated personnel for manual work, and we can customize the parameters for DNA prep to optimize our results. The system's throughput of six channels at the same time has saved us significant time compared to other solutions, and the option for water elution has been crucial for successful transfections. The service and support from the team have been exceptional, with a real and practical demo that helped us understand the product better that provided us with confidence to make the purchasing decision.

We have achieved outstanding results with the AmMag™ Quatro. The system has exceeded our expectations in terms of time and cost savings, and it has become the standard for our organization's plasmid purification needs. This is truly a modern and efficient solution that has transformed our workflow and we highly recommend it to anyone considering it for their business."
