Maxwell® FSC or Maxwell® RSC 48:
Which Instrument is Right for Your Forensic Lab?
With their compact size, the Maxwell® FSC and RSC 48 Instruments easily integrate into your laboratory’s workflow, while minimizing the impact on precious laboratory space. Both instruments feature intuitive software, an easy-to-use touch screen interface and a bar code reader for simplified date entry. The Maxwell® RSC 48 Instrument includes an integrated vision system with a large LED indicator that reduces the potential for user error by detecting proper cartridge placement and letting you know before a run starts if there is an issue.

Extract DNA from Challenging Casework Samples
The Maxwell® FSC and RSC 48 Instruments isolate DNA from casework samples using the Maxwell® FSC DNA IQ™ Casework Kit. The Maxwell® FSC DNA IQ™ Casework Kit is designed for optimal DNA extraction from forensic casework samples. These samples may include blood stains, semen stains, hairs, cigarette butts, tissue samples and trace DNA samples regularly encountered in forensic DNA analysis. The kit uses easy-to-use, ethyleneoxide-treated spin baskets, which enable preprocessing of solid samples without the need to transfer swabs, simplifying the process and reducing the chance of cross-contamination.
The kit contains the same trusted reagents as the DNA IQ™ System in a convenient, prefilled cartridge format and is optimized to provide a final DNA extract in a pure, concentrated format.
