The Applied Biosystems™ MagMAX™ Pathogen RNA/DNA Kit is a high-efficiency, magnetic bead–based nucleic acid purification system designed for the isolation of RNA and DNA from a broad spectrum of pathogens, including viruses, parasites, and easy-to-lyse bacteria. Optimized for 96-well plate formats, this kit delivers high-quality nucleic acids that are free of PCR inhibitors, making it ideal for real-time PCR (qPCR), RT-PCR, and standard PCR workflows.
The kit is fully compatible with Thermo Fisher’s MagMAX™ Express-96 Deep Well Magnetic Particle Processor and KingFisher™ systems, enabling automated high-throughput purification of up to 96 samples in approximately 45 minutes. Designed for flexibility, accuracy, and reliability, it supports low- and high-volume inputs and handles a wide array of sample types in a single workflow—helping you improve lab efficiency and minimize false-negative results.
Key Features
Dual RNA/DNA Purification in a Single Kit
- Simultaneously isolates pathogen DNA and RNA from viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
- Streamlines workflows by eliminating the need for separate kits.
Wide Sample Type Compatibility
-
Effective with diverse sample types including:
- Serum, plasma, whole blood
- Swabs (nasal, tracheal, cloacal), ear notches
- Oral fluids, feces, semen, tissue homogenates
- BioMed Diagnostics InPouch™ TF cultures
- Viral transport media and mosquito homogenates
Automation-Ready and Scalable
- Processes up to 96 samples in ~45 minutes using the MagMAX™ Express-96 Deep Well Processor.
- Compatible with a full suite of KingFisher™ instruments, enabling scalable, high-throughput sample processing.
- Supports mixed sample types in one plate following sample-specific pre-processing.
Superior Nucleic Acid Recovery & Purity
-
Magnetic bead technology delivers:
- Higher yields than glass fiber filters
- Improved purity
- Thorough inhibitor removal, reducing false-negatives
- No cross-contamination, even during high-throughput runs
Convenient Storage & Handling
- Reagents stored across room temperature, 4 °C, and -20 °C, clearly labeled and stable under standard conditions.
- Compatible with both manual and automated lab setups.
