Primerdesign, a Novacyt Group company focused on the design, manufacture, validation and supply of real-time PCR kits and reagents, has launched the exsig Mag RapidBead Pro Extraction kit, a magnetic bead-based kit that can be used to extract high-quality DNA and RNA from diverse sample types.

The streamlined and adaptable protocol is designed to enable efficient nucleic acid purification, helping researchers to move faster from sample to PCR testing, without compromising on yield and purity.

The exsig Mag RapidBead Pro Extraction kit can be used with various matrices, such as human samples, veterinary, water, food and environmental material. It is also suitable for challenging sample types, including stool and serum, and efficiently isolates genetic material from RNA viruses, as well as both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria.

The kit is available in two sizes to complement Primerdesign’s genesig qPCR kit range, supporting varying throughput requirements. Together, these provide a complete, end-to-end solution that supports reliable and consistent qPCR testing with high sensitivity, helping researchers to have confidence in their results.

“The release of the exsig Mag RapidBead Pro Extraction Kit is a key advancement in Primerdesign’s molecular workflow portfolio,” said Lyn Rees, CEO of Novacyt. “The kit sets a new standard for DNA or RNA purification, combining the proven precision and reliability of the exsig Mag Kit with the speed of a next-generation rapid extraction workflow. It is a cost-efficient, end-to-end solution that delivers superior performance, reduces lab time, and delivers greater flexibility, to help researchers accelerate molecular discovery and pathogen testing from sample to results.”

Primerdesign’s exsig Mag RapidBead Pro Extraction Kit is available for research use only and can be shipped ambiently worldwide.
