Other information

Features of the HID NIMBUS Presto System include:
• Integrated magnetic particle-based technology for DNA purification in an automated liquid handling platform
• Purify more samples with less hands-on time—up to 96 samples in less than 90 minutes
• Optimized and validated scripts for use with PrepFiler and PrepFiler BTA automated forensic DNA extraction kits
• Uses various consumable plasticware such as 1.5-mL microfuge tubes, 96-well PCR plates, and 96-deep-well plates
• Easy-to-use software interface; start your method in just a few clicks
• Deck layout designed to accommodate further downstream workflows (e.g., quantitation and amplification)

The HID NIMBUS Presto System is optimized and validated for use with PrepFiler and PrepFiler BTA automated forensic DNA extraction kits according to the Scientific Working Group for DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM, December 2016).
