HM-TQ32 Nucleic Acid Extractor

Product Introduction

The HM-TQ32 from HM Instruments occupies the mid-range of the HM-TQ series with 32 simultaneous channels and a key differentiator: temperature range extending to 120°C, matching the high-end HM-TQ48 and HM-TQ96. This extended thermal capability is essential for laboratories working with difficult-to-lyse sample matrices such as formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, plant materials with tough cellulose cell walls, and fungal specimens requiring elevated temperatures for efficient cell disruption. The Android color LCD touchscreen provides intuitive protocol management, while USB and Ethernet connectivity enables seamless integration with laboratory information management systems.

Applications

• Regional hospital laboratories — routine diagnostics plus FFPE oncology specimen processing

• Agricultural research — plant genomics and crop disease resistance gene screening

• Mycology laboratories — fungal DNA extraction from cultures and environmental samples

• Forensic science — degraded sample recovery from bone, hair, and aged tissue specimens

• Veterinary reference labs — animal tissue pathogen screening and tissue biopsy analysis

Functional Performance

1. 32-channel simultaneous extraction — 32 samples per batch in 10–40 minutes

2. Extended temperature range ambient–120°C — enables aggressive lysis of FFPE, plant, and fungal matrices

3. 32 dedicated magnetic rods — one rod per channel for uniform extraction across all positions

4. Magnetic bead recovery >98% — maximizing nucleic acid yield from challenging sample types

5. CV<5% inter-well consistency — reliable for diagnostic and quantitative applications

6. Android color LCD touchscreen — bilingual interface with protocol visualization

7. USB + Ethernet connectivity — data export and network integration with LIMS systems

8. LED illumination — visual status indication for extraction progress monitoring

9. UV disinfection — automated sterilization between extraction runs

10. Open reagent platform — compatible with any magnetic bead-based extraction kit
