6-Well Sample Strips for IsoPure Mini (AP1016-6W, Case of 100)

The AP1016-6W is the 6-well sample strip consumable for the Accuris AP1016 IsoPure Mini Automated Purification System, sold as case of 100 strips. The 6-well sample strip is the low-throughput sample-vessel format for IsoPure Mini workflows processing 8 or fewer samples per cycle; for higher-throughput runs (up to 16 samples), the workflow uses 96 deep-well plates instead. Per the IsoPure Mini brochure: *"For 8 or fewer samples, 6-well sample strips can be used, and these are loaded onto the included aluminum rack."* The strips are sterile-packed and guaranteed contaminant-free per the brochure's consumable-quality language.

Key Specifications

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU

6-well strip workflow: IsoPure Mini chassis only. Order this SKU when:

1. 1–8 sample workflows. When the IsoPure Mini run batch size is 8 samples or fewer per cycle (the 6-well strip + aluminum sample rack workflow is the recommended low-throughput format; the alternative is the 96 deep-well plate format for 9–16 sample runs).
2. Workflow-recurring replenishment. Magnetic-bead purification consumes one set of strips per protocol run; per-run consumable pack sizing depends on workflow throughput.
3. Mixed sample-vessel workflow. Facilities running both low-throughput (6-well strip + aluminum rack) and higher-throughput (96 deep-well plate) workflows stock both consumable formats.
4. Initial chassis commissioning. Order an initial supply of strips (case of 100 at minimum) when commissioning a new AP1016 chassis to support workflow startup.

IsoPure Mini Sample-Vessel Format Selection

The IsoPure Mini's processing chamber accepts both formats; the operator picks the format per cycle batch size. For a typical low-throughput academic-research workflow processing 4–8 samples per extraction batch, the 6-well strip format is the recommended workflow.

Design Architecture

6-well strips per sample: protocol step layout. The IsoPure Mini's protocol structure typically uses one well per protocol step (lysis, binding, wash 1, wash 2, wash 3, elution). The 6-well strip layout matches the standard 6-step magnetic-bead purification protocol, one strip per sample, one well per step.

Aluminum sample rack pairing. The AP1016-ASR aluminum sample rack holds 1–8 of the 6-well strips in correct positioning for the IsoPure Mini's magnetic-bead transfer comb. The rack is inserted into the chassis as a single unit; without the rack, the strips cannot be loaded into the chassis processing chamber correctly.

Sterile / contaminant-free packaging. Per brochure: the strips are *"manufactured and packaged in a sterile environment, these consumables are guaranteed to be contaminant-free."* This sterility supports nucleic-acid extraction workflows where DNase / RNase contamination would compromise sample integrity.

Application Profile

Low-throughput DNA / RNA / protein extraction. Academic research labs, satellite labs, and method-development workflows running 1–8 sample magnetic-bead extraction batches.

Method-development and protocol-validation runs. Labs developing new bead chemistries or validating protocols on the IsoPure platform run small-batch validation extractions before scaling to higher-throughput formats.

Educational and training workflows. Molecular-biology teaching labs running magnetic-bead extraction exercises with small student-cohort sample counts.

Clinical-research single-patient workflows. When single-sample or small-cohort patient extractions are run on the IsoPure Mini for clinical-research protocols.

Ordering & Configuration

Pair with AP1016-ASR aluminum sample rack: the strips require the rack for chassis loading. Confirm both consumable + adapter inventory at order.

Pack sizing. Case of 100 strips supports a workflow running 8-strip batches (one cycle = 8 strips for full-rack loading) for ~12 cycles, or smaller batches for proportionally more cycles. Replenishment cadence depends on workflow throughput.

Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (AP1016 in inventory), sample-vessel format selection (6-well strip vs 96 deep-well plate), aluminum rack inventory (AP1016-ASR), workflow batch size, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Accuris standard consumable terms. Confirm at quote. Sterility / contaminant-free guarantee per brochure.
