The sbeadex Lightning Nucleic Acid Purification Starter Kit

The sbeadex Lightning Nucleic Acid Purification Starter Kit is designed as an essential first step, offering the opportunity to test and determine the optimal core kit and lysis conditions. We highly recommend starting with this comprehensive starter kit before progressing to one of our core kits and choosing a particular lysis buffer, especially for those unfamiliar with our product line.

The sbeadex Lightning Starter Kit includes the components from both Core Kit A and Core Kit B, along with six diverse lysis buffers, protease K, and debris capture beads, ensuring precise nucleic acid purification tailored to your specific requirements.

Core Kit A: Recommended for most sample varieties and is particularly effective for plant samples.

Core Kit B: Optimised for specific sample types, especially mammalian tissue samples.

Both kits embrace an environmentally friendly approach that reduces plastics, packaging, shipping costs, storage space, and hazardous waste, helping to reduce overall energy consumption and our carbon footprint.

Revolutionary lightning technology

Our patent pending sbeadex Lightning product line brings a new era of nucleic acid isolation with a superfast and straightforward 3-step protocol. Purify nucleic acids in typically 5 minutes (lysate to eluate) from a variety of plant and animal sample materials. This innovative technology cuts time and saves costs by requiring only a binding buffer, our proprietary sbeadex particles, and an elution buffer in our Core Kits. It offers the highest flexibility and economic efficiency as the Core Kits can be combined with the optimal lysis buffers and other optional components to optimise DNA purification from specific sample types.

Applications

DNA purification: Ideal for downstream applications such as PCR/qPCR, restriction analysis/cloning, or sequencing/NGS.

Wide sample compatibility: Applicable to a diverse range of sample types, including plant and animal tissues (see product details).

The sbeadex Lightning technology

This kit leverages the power of sbeadex magnetic bead technology. These superparamagnetic particles, coated with sbeadex surface chemistry, employ a novel one-step binding mechanism that ensures effective removal of impurities from the sample matrix. The recommended but optional wash step is performed with water, preventing organic/alcoholic traces in the eluate that might inhibit enzymatic downstream applications. This eliminates the need for a drying step before elution, further enhancing DNA quality.
