Mag-Bind® Universal Pathogen 96 Kit rapidly and reliably isolates high-quality host genomic DNA, gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial DNA, fungal spore DNA, and viral DNA and viral RNA from tissue, urine, serum, and fecal samples.

This novel system combines the rapid magnetic response time of Mag-Bind® technology with the uniquely formulated RBB Buffer to eliminate the isolation of PCR-inhibiting compounds along with the nucleic acids of interest. No organic extractions are involved, reducing plastic waste and hands-on time, making it amenable for high-throughput applications. Purified DNA is suitable for a variety of applications including NGS, PCR, restriction digestion, etc.

The Mag-Bind® Universal Pathogen 96 Kit is automatable on most open liquid handlers and magnetic processors, with typical automated processing time of about 1 hour for 96 samples.

Ready-to-implement protocols are available for the following platforms:

  • Hamilton Microlab® STAR
  • Hamilton Microlab® NIMBUS
  • KingFisher™, BioSprint®, and MagMAX® 96

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
