High performance

Wide range of sample preparation solutions

Insufficient nucleic acid extraction is the most common cause of molecular workflow issues in commercial supply, so make sure you are using the right products. Bead-based solutions avoid the use of organic solvents or nucleic acid precipitation, helping to eliminate the problems often encountered with filter-based nucleic acid isolation methods.

For your unique assay or application, we offer a wide range of sample preparation solutions, including Invitrogen Dynabeads magnetic beads, which are customizable for your workflow, or turnkey Applied Biosystems MagMAX kits, which are optimized for easy integration. Both Dynabeads and MagMAX kits work seamlessly with Thermo Scientific KingFisher automation instruments for high-throughput genomic analysis. For more unique or demanding applications, our R&D scientists will work closely with you to customize our beads and buffers to your exact specifications.

Take no chances in the effort to achieve your goals. Partner with us for the quality, security of supply, customization, and expertise you can expect from the world leader in serving science.

Dynabeads magnetic beads

dynabeads-230x195

Dynabeads products offer many unique benefits and are widely used for specific capture and detection of nucleic acids in clinical samples. Some of the products are from our existing bio-discovery portfolio, while others are developed and supplied on an OEM basis. Our beads are monodisperse, with tight CV (coefficient of variation) specifications and exceptional batch-to-batch reproducibility.

In addition to a broad portfolio of off-the-shelf Dynabeads products, our patented technology and proprietary knowledge enable customized product development.

Customization may include: 

  • Coupling of antibody, protein, nucleic acid, or other bioreactive ligands
  • Chemical groups and surface functionality
  • Iron content and magnetic characteristics
  • Bead size, polymer, and pore structure
