MagMAX™ Dx Prefilled Viral/Pathogen Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit

The MagMAX Dx Prefilled Viral/Pathogen Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit is a magnetic bead technology-based nucleic acid purification kit intended for the isolation and purification of viral RNA and DNA from human saliva and nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs for thedetection of SARS-CoV-2 virus, adenovirus, and influenza virus by real-time PCR.

Features of the MagMAX Dx Prefilled Viral/Pathogen Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit include:
• Automation-ready script designed for KingFisher Flex system
• Fast procedure allows for 96 samples to be processed in <30 minutes on KingFisher Flex system
• Flexible protocol accommodates sample inputs from oropharyngeal/nasopharyngeal swabs and saliva
• Elution volume: 50 μL

Benefits of MagMAX magnetic bead–based purification
Magnetic beads offer many benefits compared to other technologies for isolating nucleic acid. Beads bind the nucleic acid more efficiently than glass-fiber filters, resulting in higher and more consistent yields. Additionally, because filters and vacuum manifolds are not used, there is no risk of filter clogging due to cellular particulates in samples. This clogging issue is of particular concern with protein-rich, large-volume samples such as whole blood or plasma that are commonly used for viral testing.
