sbeadex™ magnetic beads enable automated high-throughput extraction and purification of high-quality nucleic acids from easy to challenging sample types.

An optimised chemistry with a novel two-step binding mechanism allows nucleic acids to bind more specifically to RNA and DNA purification beads. Final washes with pure water deliver nucleic acids of high yield, purity and quality that can be used in many downstream applications such as PCR/qPCR/RT-qPCR or NGS. The sbeadex magnetic bead-based DNA and RNA purification procedure is fast, reliable and compatible with many robotic platforms, including our oKtopure™.

Applications of sbeadex nucleic acid purification kits

Key benefits of sbeadex technology

  • Highly purified nucleic acids suitable for many downstream applications 
  • Fast, convenient and reproducible protocols that are easily adaptable to high-throughput automation
  • No organic extraction, alcohol precipitation, alcohol washes or centrifugation steps
  • Water-based wash buffers
  • No potential PCR inhibitors (e.g. organic solvents, ethanol or salts) in wash buffers and eluate
  • Highly stable, ready-to-use kits
  • Compatible with most popular robotic platforms (e.g. KingFisher, Hamilton, Tecan, Beckman-Coulter or our high-throughput oKtopure instrument)

Partner with us to customise sbeadex technology for your specific requirements. We offer highly flexible batch sizes and tailored protocols (e.g. modified lysis or elution steps) as well as customised and bulk sized kits. Contact us to discuss your project.

DNA/RNA preparation protocol with sbeadex magnetic beads

sbeadex magnetic beads allow efficient and high-quality purification of small and large DNA and RNA fragments within 45 minutes without centrifugation steps. The beads are double coated, requiring a unique dual binding protocol. This protocol allows elution of ultrapure nucleic acids into water and significantly reduces solvent carryover that might affect downstream applications.

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

The particles used in the sbeadex™ and mag™ kits are modified superparamagnetic particles, which allow efficient extraction of highly pure, small and large nucleic acid fragments from a range of sample materials. The beads are attracted to strong permanent magnets, but they do not become permanent magnets.

Parameters of the magnetic particles:

Colour Dark brown
Size <53 µm, 80% 5-10 µm
Shape irregular
Specific weight 3.0-3.5 g/10 mL dry particles
Maximum capacity 2 µg DNA/mg particles
Storage/stability

Bead suspension is stable for approximately 12 months.
If provided as dry power, this is stable for >2 years at room temperature.

LGC Biosearch Technologies developed standard protocols on a broad variety of robotic platforms for extractions of all major plant species, plant samples and other sample matrices. As protocols on the KingFisher platform can easily be transferred and installed, we provide application notes based on our sbeadex standard chemistry. For all other robotic platforms and sample material not mentioned, please contact us. The extractions team is very experienced with a wide range of sample matrices, having worked with all kinds of samples in our DNA extraction service laboratories. We are able to send you DNA extraction protocols for many sample types that are not mentioned here.
