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

One nucleic acid extraction kit can be used for multiple microbiological organisms and multiple infectious disease research applications. Applied Biosystem™ MagMAX Prime Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit utilizes magnetic bead-based technology to purify and 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. Whereas viruses 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 sample types

To start researching pathogenic organisms, research labs can use a combination of kits and reagents along with automation instruments that support with isolation of nucleic acid from your chosen sample type. The DNA and RNA can then be analyzed using several different instruments and techniques, such as dPCR and NGS. Learn more about nucleic acid purification for infectious disease research. 

Simplify your sample preparation by using one kit to cover a multitude of sample types. 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.*
