sbeadex™ magnetic beads enable automated high-throughput extraction and purification of high-quality nucleic acids from easy to challenging sample types.
An optimised chemistry with a novel two-step binding mechanism allows nucleic acids to bind more specifically to RNA and DNA purification beads. Final washes with pure water deliver nucleic acids of high yield, purity and quality that can be used in many downstream applications such as PCR/qPCR/RT-qPCR or NGS. The sbeadex magnetic bead-based DNA and RNA purification procedure is fast, reliable and compatible with many robotic platforms, including our oKtopure™.

DNA/RNA preparation protocol with sbeadex magnetic beads
sbeadex magnetic beads allow efficient and high-quality purification of small and large DNA and RNA fragments within 45 minutes without centrifugation steps. The beads are double coated, requiring a unique dual binding protocol. This protocol allows elution of ultrapure nucleic acids into water and significantly reduces solvent carryover that might affect downstream applications.
