The MagMAX™ Microbiome Ultra Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (with bead tubes) is a specialized magnetic bead–based purification system designed for efficient and reproducible RNA and DNA extraction from challenging microbiome-rich samples, particularly stool, soil, and swabs. Leveraging the proven performance of MagMAX magnetic bead technology and optimized for use on KingFisher™ Flex and KingFisher™ Duo Prime instruments, this kit delivers high-quality nucleic acids suitable for downstream RT-PCR, qPCR, microarrays, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications.
This version of the kit includes pre-filled bead tubes, making it ideal for low- to medium-throughput workflows that require flexibility without sacrificing yield or quality. With optimized surface chemistry via Dynabeads™ MyOne™ Silane, the kit offers excellent binding efficiency and avoids issues common with filter-based methods such as clogging.
Key Features
Optimized for Difficult Sample Types
- Validated for extraction from fecal matter, soil, and swabs in transport media.
- Processes up to 100 mg of stool or 250 mg of soil per prep.
- Ideal for microbiome and environmental nucleic acid studies.
Bead Tube Format for Low-Throughput Labs
- Includes individual tubes pre-loaded with zirconia beads for efficient mechanical disruption.
- Suitable for smaller labs or batch processing needs.
- After bead beating, samples can be processed on a KingFisher™ instrument.
High-Quality Magnetic Bead Chemistry
- Dynabeads™ MyOne™ Silane feature a silica-like surface with high surface area for superior nucleic acid binding.
- Eliminates common issues such as filter clogging seen with column- or vacuum-based kits.
- Supports elution volumes from 50 to 200 μL, with consistent RNA/DNA recovery in as little as 100 μL of elution buffer.
Rapid and Efficient Workflow
- Processes up to 96 samples in ~60 minutes on KingFisher™ Flex, or 12 samples in ~50 minutes on KingFisher™ Duo Prime.
- Pre-optimized automation-ready protocols simplify validation and ensure consistent performance.
