sbeadex® kits for DNA extraction use surface modified superparamagnetic particles which bind nucleic acids via a novel two-step binding mechanism. Nucleic acids affix to the sbeadex® surface chemistry via polar interactions during the first binding step and via an affinity-driven mediator during the second binding step.

The sbeadex® two-step binding mechanism means that higher purity nucleic acids can be extracted from sample material as the switch between binding mechanisms allows more impurities to be removed during the extraction process.

• High purity
• No organic solvents in final wash buffer
• Buffers supplied ready-to-use
• No salts in eluates (high OD260 / OD230)
