The MagMAX™-96 Total RNA Isolation Kit is designed for the rapid, moderate-throughput purification of RNA from animal and plant cells and tissue. RNA purified using the kit is ideal for PCR and RT-PCR applications. The kit uses magnetic bead–based purification and includes sufficient reagents for 96 reactions. Features of the MagMAX™-96 Total RNA Isolation Kit include:

• Enhanced lysis/binding conditions to accommodate larger sample inputs
• Reagents for TURBO DNase™ treatment included to minimize DNA contamination and preserve RNA integrity
• Includes protocol for RNA isolation from plant tissues
• 96 reactions per kit suitable for moderate throughput users

Benefits of MagMAX™ magnetic bead–based purification
Magnetic beads offer many benefits compared to other technologies for isolating RNA. Beads bind RNA more efficiently than glass fiber filters, resulting in higher and more consistent RNA yields. Additionally, because filters are not used, there is no risk of filter clogging due to cellular particulates in samples. Since only a small volume of magnetic beads is needed for high-efficiency binding, the bound RNA can be eluted in just 20–50 μL of nuclease-free water, concentrating RNA from large, dilute samples.

Accommodates diverse sample types
The kit accommodates diverse biological samples and a broad range of cell and tissue input amounts. The kit is optimized for high-throughput isolation of RNA from 25 cells to 2 x 106 cells, as well as small plant and mammalian tissue samples (up to 10 mg). The protocol is fully amenable to automation. Detailed guidelines for general automation are included with the kit, and downloadable protocols for the use of this kit with specific liquid handling systems are available at the Automation Resource.

Accessory products
Lysis/Binding Solution Concentrate (AM8500), Wash Solution 1 Concentrate (AM8504), and Wash Solution 2 Concentrate (AM8640) are components of the kit that may also be purchased separately. The Plant RNA Isolation Aid (AM9690) can be used in conjunction with the MagMAX™-96 Total RNA Isolation Kit for the isolation of RNA from plant tissues.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Are MagMax kits compatible with RNAlater reagent-treated samples?

Only MagMax96 for Microarrays Total RNA Isolation Kit (Cat. No. AM1839) is compatible, since it uses Trizol reagent and most of the salt carry-over from RNAlater reagent is eliminated during the lysis steps and partitioned from the aqueous RNA layer on top. For other MagMax kits, optimization is needed. High salt carry over is not optimal for MagMax RNA isolation steps.

What orbital shaker do you recommend using with the MagMAX-96 AI/ND Viral RNA Isolation Kit (Cat. No. AM1835) and MagMAX-96 Total RNA Isolation Kit (Cat. No. AM1830)?

For the MagMAX-96 AI/ND Viral RNA Isolation Kit and MagMAX-96 Total RNA Isolation Kit, we recommend using an orbital shaker for bead mixing and washing. We recommend the following orbital shaker:
Digital Microplate Shakers

Can I edit the manufactured KingFisher Flex protocols?

No, manufactured protocols are locked for editing, but they can be renamed using the ‘save as' function and edited as a new version.

Can I use magnetic beads from other vendors with the KingFisher Flex instrument?

For nucleic acid extraction, we recommend using our MagMAX kits and MagJET kits. Other magnetic beads should work well as long as they are 0.5 to 10 µm in size. However, you will have to write your own KingFisher protocols using the Thermo Scientific BindIt software and validate/optimize the protocol on your own.

I am working with liquid samples with high volume and want to extract nucleic acid from them using the KingFisher Flex instrument. Can I use more volume than the protocol advises?

Yes, this can be done by sample splitting. Set the protocol so that the magnet will collect samples from multiple wells before continuing to the next step. Be sure not to overload.
