Invitrogen BenchPro 2100 Maxi Plasmid DNA Processing Station 125mL Capacity

The Invitrogen BenchPro 2100 Maxi Plasmid Processing Station is an automated DNA purification system engineered for the efficient processing of large-scale plasmid DNA from bacterial cultures ranging between 100-125 mL. This unit streamlines the traditional 22-step plasmid purification into just four automated steps, minimizing manual handling and reducing error potential in molecular biology workflows.

Key technical specifications include:

• Sample Processing Capacity: Supports 1 or 2 plasmid preps per run from 100-125 mL bacterial culture volumes
• Reaction Time: Approximately 90 minutes per purification cycle
• Reagent: Utilizes a proprietary cell lysis buffer and proprietary card format for sample processing
• Electrical Input: Operates on 100-240 VAC, 12 VDC at 2.5 Amps, compatible with standard lab power supplies (120V/220V, 50Hz/60Hz)
• Automated Protocol Compatibility: Designed to integrate with high-throughput bioprocessing pipelines and automated laboratory setups
• Physical Dimensions: 33.02 cm (W) x 29.72 cm (H) x 52.83 cm (D), weighing 13.61 kg, optimized for benchtop laboratory spaces

The BenchPro 2100 is critical in biotechnological research areas such as gene editing, molecular cloning, and biopharmaceutical production, offering reliable plasmid purification essential for downstream applications including synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics. Its compatibility with automated workflows supports increased throughput and consistency, making it a popular choice among molecular biology researchers and bioprocessing labs.

Widely adopted in biotechnology laboratories, this equipment enhances DNA sample preparation efficiency and purity, facilitating rapid transitions from bacterial culture to purified plasmid DNA, essential for advanced synthetic biology research and clinical molecular diagnostics.
