The Thermo Scientific Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction WorkStation is a turn-key solution that provides your lab with everything you need to automate high speed purifications. Based on revolutionary magnetic separation technology, Thermo Scientific KingFisher Flex based systems, enable you to process any sample from virtually any source with guaranteed sample integrity. The Automated Nucleic Acid Extraction WorkStation is an easy-to-use, single-vendor solution so you'll be up and running in no time. And you'll be sure your system is properly maintained well into the future. The flexibility of the system is unmatched in the industry allowing for: instruments to be used in stand-alone use and swap-out of instruments even when the system is running. With non-contact dispensing of all reagents and buffers, you'll save time and money over disposable tip changing.

Momentum Workflow Software

The entire system is controlled and monitored with the Thermo Scientific Momentum Scheduling Software. Momentum is the top layer software that communicates and controls all instruments in the system. Momentum lets users define, execute and monitor complex processes in a powerful yet easy-to-use visual environment. The software offers a simulation mode and accelerated simulation to test your processes in advance. Powerful instrument pooling capabilities increases capacity as the system can utilize any instrument that is available in a pool. Momentum isolates problems and provides recovery options for attended or unattended modes to keep your science moving. This revolutionary software can even run multiple processes at the same time, the possibilities are endless!
