MagMAX Prime Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit
for Infectious Disease Research

One nucleic acid extraction kit can be used for multiple microbiological organisms and infectious disease research applications. The Applied Biosystem MagMAX Prime Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit combines the power of magnetic bead-based technology and advanced formulation to isolate viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic nucleic acid from a variety of human biological specimens for downstream applications like qPCR and NGS.

Pathogens are disease causing bacteria, virus and fungi which can infect animals and plants. Bacteria are microscopic pathogens that reproduce quickly upon entering the body. They tend to release toxins that can damage tissues and cause illness. Viruses, which are smaller than bacteria, invade a host cell then replicate, producing hundreds and thousands of new viruses to infect other host cells. Fungi are spore producing organisms that can sometimes cause diseases.

Researching pathogens using one solution for a multitude of sample types

To study pathogenic organisms, research labs can use a combination of kits and reagents along with automated instrumentation that support with the isolation of nucleic acids from the chosen sample type. The DNA and RNA can then be analyzed downstream using various analytical instruments and techniques. Learn more about nucleic acid purification for infectious disease research.

MagMAX Prime Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit can help improve your infectious research through:

• Advanced formulation—Maximize nucleic acid yield for greater assay sensitivity
  • Improve yield and achieve earlier amplification by up to 2.5 C_t when isolating some pathogenic targets*
  • Lower viscosity of binding solution, making it easier to pipette than previous MagMAX solution
  • Versatility in workflow options
  • Optimized formulation and scripts for automation
• Streamlined and simple workflow
  • Enable multiple applications across an array of infectious disease pathogens with one single sample preparation solution, thus reducing the need for multiple kits
  • Three simple workflows
  • One user guide to streamline workflow with easy-to-follow protocols to maximize laboratory efficiency
  • Streamline your batches by running various sample types on a single plate via the same KingFisher script
• Sample type versatility—enable high-quality nucleic acid isolation from a variety of biological samples such as swabs in transport media (respiratory, genital, and lesion swabs), saliva, stool, urine, plasma, and serum
• Automation-ready—pair it with KingFisher Purification Instrument for rapid sample extraction and enable 96 samples to be processed in less than 60 minutes
• Sustainable design—From design to end-of-product life, incorporating more sustainable improvements to reduce environmental impacts
  • Paperless documentation—User guide available digitally and easily accessible with a QR code printed on the box
  • Less hazardous—All reagents are REACH**- compliant
  • Greener surfactants—Biodegradable detergent
  • Responsibly packaged—Compact product packaging size
• Flexible configuration available—Adaptable kit configurations, including user-filled and prefilled format***, accessories, and large stand-alone bottles
• Track your sample—Dye included to colorize proteinase K to track addition to sample plate

*Cycle Threshold (C_t) evaluation dependent on assay and workflow. We encourage all workflows and assay evaluations to be conducted by the customer.
**REACH is a regulation of the European Union, adopted to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. Understanding REACH—ECHA (europa.eu)
***Prefilled kit only available in certain regions. Please contact your local representative to learn more.
