Nucleic acid extraction and purification reagents

LGC Biosearch Technologies provides a range of different nucleic acid isolation technologies which are adapted to specific customer needs (e.g. purity and automation-compatibility) and can be used for a variety of sample types. While our QuickExtract™ is a good choice for simple and rapid extraction of DNA and RNA that is well-suited for PCR/RT-PCR, our MasterPure™ and sbeadex™/mag™ kits yield high-quality nucleic acids which are suitable for all genomics downstream applications, including sequencing/NGS and cloning.

Nucleic acid purification kits

We offer innovative superparamagnetic bead-based as well as solution-based nucleic acid purification technologies for fast and convenient isolation of high-quality DNA and RNA from a broad range of sample materials and species.

Rapid nucleic acid extraction kits

Our QuickExtract™ kits provide a fast and easy, but rather crude DNA and RNA extraction from various sample types (including plant and FFPE samples) that is sufficient for PCR applications. The simple protocol allows cost-effective high-throughput extractions using non-toxic reagents.
