sbeadex Lightning enables superfast purification using an innovative binding principle that allows simultaneous binding and washing of DNA. This patent-pending magnetic bead technology reduces the purification workflow from a 5-step to a 3-step process.
Despite its simplified and shortened protocol, sbeadex Lightning delivers highly pure DNA in yields comparable to those of popular purification kits.
Advantages of the simplified protocol include:
- Time savings for extraction, enabling faster acquisition of high-quality DNA
- Reduced environmental impact due to lower hazardous liquid waste and plastic consumption
- Lower associated costs for transport, storage, plastic consumables, and waste disposal
The sbeadex Lightning Plant DNA Kit is suitable for both manual and automated DNA isolation. The manual purification process takes approximately 5 minutes per sample, or about 20 minutes for 6 samples, and begins after the lysis step. The lysis duration can be flexibly adjusted depending on the sample type, typically ranging from 10 to 30 minutes. Automation protocols for KingFisher and Oktopure are available upon request.
