sbeadex™ magnetic microparticles enable the automated high-throughput extraction and purification of high quality DNA and RNA preparations from a wide range of materials including plant, blood, cells and tissues, bacteria, viruses and forensic material.
learn moreThe sbeadex™ PCR clean-up kit is used to purify PCR products for sensitive downstream applications. Components of the PCR reaction such that primers, unincorporated nucleotides, enzymes and other contaminations are efficiently removed and the protocol can be scaled up or down for other volumes of PCR product.
learn moreThe sbeadex™ Tissue DNA Purification Kit is ideally suited to isolate high-quality nucleic acids from a wide range of mammalian tissues and cultured cells (e.g. skin, lung, muscle, spleen, mouse tails, ear punches) which can be used in downstream applications such as PCR or sequencing.
learn moreThe sbeadex™ Plasmid DNA Purification Kit is used to isolate plasmid DNA from bacterial cultures (e.g. E. coli). They have been optimised for automated high-quality plasmid DNA isolation that is suitable for many downstream applications such as cloning, restriction analysis, in vitro transcription, cell transformation/transfection, nucleic acid labeling, PCR, DNA sequencing.
learn moreThe sbeadex™ Plant DNA Purification Kits are used to isolate DNA from a wide variety of plant species and materials. They have been optimised for automated high-quality DNA isolation from both fresh and lyophilised plant tissue material including leaves, seeds, fruits, pulp, bark and roots.
learn moreThe sbeadex™ Forensic DNA Purification Kit enables isolation of high-quality DNA from a wide variety of forensic sample types, including blood stains, hair, semen and saliva from e.g. clothing, chewing gum and clothing.

learn moresbeadex livestock kits produce high-quality DNA. Blood, hair, semen, ear punches, saliva and swabs are used for analysis of a huge diversity of animal species.
learn moresbeadex™ magnetic microparticles enables the automated high-throughput extraction and purification of high quality DNA preparations from blood.
learn moreHigh-throughput, cost-effective nucleic acid isolation from a broad range of sample materials.
learn moreSample material can vary greatly in consistency as well as in sugar, protein and fat composition - all of which can affect the quality and purity of the isolated nucleic acid and the subsequent performance of downstream applications. To provide the most efficient and effective purification method, LGC Biosearch Technologies offers not only a range of different extraction chemistries/technologies but also the capacity to develop tailor-made kit systems optimised to a particular sample type/matrix and/or application.
