Product Description
Screening ticks, mosquitoes or wildlife tissue for pathogens calls for an extraction that handles tough samples at scale. This Zymo Research magnetic bead kit purifies viral, bacterial and protozoan DNA and RNA from vectors and animal tissues, supporting surveillance programs that process hundreds of specimens.
This listing is for catalog number R2145: Quick-DNA/RNA Pathogen MagBead, 96 Preps. Specimens are collected, transported and stored in DNA/RNA Shield, which preserves nucleic acids and inactivates pathogens. A storage and lysis buffer system, ideally paired with ZR BashingBead Lysis Tubes for hard-to-lyse material, homogenizes the sample. Nucleic acids from over 50 nt to over 200 kb are then bound to magnetic beads, washed and eluted. Available in 96- and 4 x 96-prep sizes. LIGHT LABS stocks the Zymo Research line, so kits, buffers and refills are always within reach.
Key Features
- Pathogen breadth – recovers DNA and RNA from viruses, bacteria and protozoa.
- Vector and tissue samples – suited to mosquitoes, fleas, ticks and mammalian or avian tissues.
- Safe transport – DNA/RNA Shield preserves nucleic acids and inactivates pathogens.
- Bead beating compatible – pairs with ZR BashingBead Lysis Tubes for hard-to-lyse samples.
- Wide size range – captures nucleic acids from over 50 nt to over 200 kb.
