The MagMAX Viral/Pathogen Ultra Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit contains the same reagents as the standard MagMAX Viral/Pathogen Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit (Cat. No. A42352) and so, like that kit, recovers nucleic acid from viral particles and gram negative bacteria. However, the MagMAX Viral/Pathogen Ultra kit also includes a proprietary enzyme mix that enables lysis and nucleic acid recovery from the toughest pathogens, such as gram-positive bacteria, yeast, and fungi. With this enzyme mix, used in conjunction with optimized reagents, the MagMAX Viral/Pathogen Ultra kit makes it possible to achieve comprehensive pathogen lysis and recovery of RNA and DNA.
High-Throughput & Automation-ReadyThis kit supports both 96 and 1,152 sample preps, accommodating varying throughput demands. Its compatibility with KingFisher Flex, Apex, and Duo Prime platforms ensures fully automated processing, minimizing manual intervention and enhancing lab productivity.
Comprehensive Sample CompatibilityThe MagMAX Viral/Pathogen Ultra Kit can extract nucleic acids from a broad range of sample types, such as swabs, saliva, plasma, serum, transport media, and other bodily fluids. This flexibility allows laboratories to apply a single workflow to multiple sample sources, streamlining operations.
Efficient Workflow & Reliable ResultsAchieve nucleic acid purification efficiently, with results for 96 samples in as little as 30-60 minutes. The kit includes magnetic beads, buffers, elution solution, carrier RNA, and proteinase K, ensuring consistent and sensitive isolation critical for downstream molecular diagnostic applications.
