Description
The BIOBASE BNP Series is a fully automated, open-platform nucleic acid extraction system designed for magnetic-bead laboratory workflows. Available in 32-sample and 48-sample configurations, the system combines programmable extraction protocols, eight independent heating modules, adjustable oscillating mixing, UV disinfection, and a responsive 7-inch touchscreen interface.
The BNP32 and BNP48 accommodate sample volumes from 20–500 μL and processing volumes from 60–1,000 μL. Magnetic-bead recovery is rated above 98%, with inter-well extraction variation rated at CV ≤3%. Extraction cycles typically require approximately 8–60 minutes per run, depending on the reagent and selected protocol.
