Omega Bio-tek introduces Mag-Bind Total RNA Xpress Kit at SLAS Europe 2026
Automation-friendly solution delivers fast, reliable total RNA extraction for high-throughput and time-sensitive workflows
20 May 2026Product news
Omega Bio-tek has introduced the Mag-Bind® Total RNA Xpress Kit (M6742) at at SLAS Europe 2026 in Vienna, Austria. As a next-generation magnetic bead-based system, the Kit provides rapid, reliable isolation of high-quality total RNA, including small RNAs, from a wide range of tissue and cultured cell samples.
Developed for high-throughput and time-sensitive genomics and molecular biology workflows in academic, clinical, and industrial laboratories, the Kit is optimized for both manual and automated RNA extraction on open-ended magnetic processors and liquid handling platforms.
High-throughput RNA extraction optimized for speed and reliability
The Mag-Bind Total RNA Xpress Kit leverages Omega Bio-tek’s magnetic bead technology to significantly reduce RNA purification processing times while maintaining high yields and reproducible performance. The workflow incorporates an optimized on-bead DNase digestion step, eliminating the need for a traditional re-bind step and simplifying the purification process. This design reduces hands-on time, minimizes opportunities for error, and supports laboratories handling complex, high-throughput sample sets.
Engineered for consistency across diverse sample types, the Mag-Bind Total RNA Xpress Kit (M6742) delivers high-quality RNA from liver, brain, and muscle tissues, as well as cultured cells. The purified RNA shows excellent integrity and is free of inhibitors that can negatively impact downstream applications such as RT-qPCR and next-generation sequencing.
Total RNA, including small RNAs, for advanced transcriptomics
The Mag-Bind Total RNA Xpress Kit is designed to efficiently isolate total RNA that includes small RNAs, meeting the growing demand for comprehensive transcriptome and regulatory RNA studies. By maintaining strong purity ratios and reproducibility across workflows, the Kit supports sensitive applications that depend on accurate representation of both messenger RNA and small RNA species.
This capability makes the Kit suitable for researchers investigating gene expression, non-coding RNA function, and regulatory networks in areas such as oncology, neuroscience, developmental biology, and biomarker discovery.
Flexible integration into automated and manual workflows
To support real-world laboratory conditions, the Mag-Bind Total RNA Xpress Kit (M6742) is compatible with multiple preservation solutions, enabling seamless integration into existing sample collection and storage protocols. The Kit is suitable for use on open-ended magnetic processors and liquid handling platforms, allowing laboratories to scale RNA extraction without redesigning upstream workflows.
By combining high performance with operational simplicity, the Kit enables laboratories to increase throughput, standardize RNA purification, and maintain data quality across large studies and multi-site projects.
