Metal, wood, and paper products; chemicals; leather goods; foods and beverages; medical equipment; lighting fixtures; and , Calif.--(BW HealthWire) July 25, 2001 Hyperlinked web address for photo: http://www.cortex-biochem.com/Images/MP.jpg Cortex Biochem Inc., announced today the introduction of MagaPureEX(TM) a revolutionary easy to use magnetic separation platform for nucleic acid nucleic acid, any of a group of organic substances found in the chromosomes of living cells and viruses that play a central role in the storage and replication of hereditary information and in the expression of this information through protein synthesis. isolation which is ideal for manual, semi-automated, and fully-automated nucleic acid isolation applications. The biotechnology company, located in San Leandro, California San Leandro is a city in Alameda County, California, United States. The population was estimated to be 81,466 as of January 1, 2007[1]. Weather is mild throughout the year. , has a long-standing specialty in magnetic separation technology. According to according to prep. 1.

Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , a technology that is rapid, reliable, and easy-to-use in automated systems is paramount to developing cutting-edge genomic applications. "The success of the Human Genome Project is creating a demand for a new generation of nucleic acid isolation system... Automation is the key to fulfilling today's exponential demand. Economics, reliability and speed of nucleic acid isolation can only be realized by technology designed for automation." The MagaPureEX Nucleic Acid Isolation System was developed to maximize the performance of automated platforms.

Its simplicity and high yield increases sample throughput and reduces errors, resulting in significantly enhanced performance and cost-savings. Recognizing contemporary environmental demands, MagaPureEX does not require organic solvents, including ethanol. Applications have been developed for use with a broad range of starting materials such as whole blood, buffy-coat, leukocytes, and cultured cells. Many more are under development emphasizing reliability of processing results, even with very complex samples. MagaPureEX processed samples are immediately ready for subsequent downstream applications such as PCR PCR polymerase chain reaction.
