Nucleic Acid Purification for
Infectious Disease Research

MagMAX and KingFisher products offer a comprehensive solution for respiratory pathogen research, providing sensitive nucleic acid purification and high-throughput pathogen detection. The combined use of Thermo Fisher Scientific technologies can enable researchers to streamline their workflows and improve their results.

Top 4 Tips for improving your respiratory pathogen research

1. Use sensitive extraction methods to get high quality input for downstream applications.
2. Research a wide variety of respiratory pathogens with one single MagMAX Viral/Pathogen kit.
3. Achieve accurate and reproducible results downstream by using optimized protocols and reagents designed to obtain maximum yield and purity for respiratory pathogen nucleic acid extractions.
4. Scalable and versatile extraction methods.

Sexually transmitted infections (STI), urinary tract infections (UTI), and reproductive health research can all be aided by nucleic acid extraction and recovery using MagMAX Viral Pathogen kits. Our technology provides effective lysis and nucleic acid recovery from a wide range of pathogens. The MagMAX Viral/Pathogen Ultra proprietary enzyme mix is optimized for use with Thermo Scientific KingFisher purification systems, helping you streamline the workflow and enable fast, efficient and automated nucleic acid isolation.

• Advanced nucleic acid recovery—The MagMAX Viral/Pathogen Ultra Kit and MagMAX Prime Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit enables lysis and nucleic acid recovery from some of the toughest pathogens, such as gram-positive bacteria, yeast, and fungi.
• Accurate and reproducible downstream results—MagMAX kits are designed with optimized protocols and reagents for maximum yield and purity of sexual and urinary pathogen nucleic acid extractions, helping ensure high-quality input for downstream applications.
• Scalable extraction workflow—KingFisher systems offer a variety of throughput options depending on the instrument model, enabling flexible and adaptable sample preparation workflows.

The human gastrointestinal tract is filled with fascinating microbes that researchers are discovering and publishing about regularly. MagMAX Microbiome Ultra Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit or MagMAX Prime Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit paired with the KingFisher Purification system can help labs achieve an efficient work stream for gastrointestinal research. With its bead-beating technology for efficient microbe lysis and optimized workflow for quick, inhibitor-free nucleic acid isolation, researchers can recover DNA and RNA from a wide range of microbes with less hands-on time and fast processing.

• Advanced microbe lysis—Bead-beating technology inside the MagMAX Microbiome and MagMAX Prime kits enables efficient microbe lysis from stool samples.
• Accurate and reproducible downstream results—MagMAX kits are designed with optimized protocols and reagents for maximum yield and purity of gastrointestinal pathogen nucleic acid extractions, helping ensure high-quality input for downstream applications.
• Scalable extraction workflow—KingFisher systems offer a variety of throughput options depending on the instrument model, enabling flexible and adaptable sample preparation workflows.

Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that can infect the blood stream and potentially lead to diseases including HIV, Hepatitis B and C, Malaria and Syphilis. The MagMAX Viral/Pathogen Nucleic Acid Isolation Kit for HIV-1 Dried Blood Spots is a cost-effective solution for blood-borne pathogen research that enhances testing volumes in remote regions and is easily transported for global health and surveillance.

• Flexible sample types—Research bloodborne pathogens using both DBS and EDTA treated plasma samples.
• Accurate and reproducible downstream results—MagMAX kits are designed with optimized protocols and reagents for maximum yield and purity of bloodborne pathogen, helping ensure high-quality input for downstream applications.
• Scalable extraction workflow—KingFisher systems offer a variety of throughput options depending on the instrument model, enabling flexible and adaptable sample preparation workflows.
