The MagMAX Pathogen RNA/DNA Kit from Applied Biosystems enables rapid and efficient purification of total RNA and DNA from viruses and easy-to-lyse bacteria and parasites using magnetic bead technology in a 96-well format.
Optimized for high-throughput molecular workflows, this kit effectively removes PCR inhibitors, delivering high-purity nucleic acids ideal for real-time PCR (qPCR), RT-PCR, and conventional PCR applications.
Product Overview
The MagMAX™ Pathogen RNA/DNA Kit provides a single, flexible solution for both RNA and DNA purification across a wide range of clinical, veterinary, environmental, and research sample types. Using magnetic particle technology, nucleic acids are efficiently bound, washed, and eluted with minimal carryover of inhibitors.
When paired with automated magnetic particle processors, laboratories can purify nucleic acids from up to 96 samples in approximately 45 minutes, significantly improving workflow efficiency and reproducibility.
Key Features
Dual Purification Capability
- Simultaneous extraction of viral RNA and DNA
- Compatible with easy-to-lyse bacteria and parasites
Broad Sample Compatibility
- Serum and plasma
- Whole blood
- Saliva and oral fluids
- Viral transport media
- Swabs (nasal, tracheal, cloacal)
- Tissue homogenates
- Feces
- Semen
- Ear notches
- Mosquito samples
- BioMed Diagnostics InPouch™ TF culture
Flexible Sample Input
- Supports both low and high input volumes
- Multiple sample types can be processed on the same plate after pre-processing
High Purity & Reduced False Negatives
- Effective removal of PCR inhibitors
- Magnetic beads provide superior washing compared to filter-based methods
- Optimized protocols reduce risk of cross-contamination
Automation Compatibility
The kit is optimized for use with:
- KingFisher Flex Magnetic Particle Processor
- MagMAX Express-96 Deep Well Magnetic Particle Processor
- KingFisher 96
- MagMAX Express-96 Standard
- MagMAX Express Magnetic Particle Processor
Automated purification of 96 samples can be completed in approximately 45 minutes.
Manual workflows are also supported for laboratories without automation platforms.
