Primerdesign launches exsig Mag RapidBead Pro Extraction Kit for DNA and RNA
Next-generation magnetic bead-based kit designed for fast and efficient nucleic acid purification from diverse sample types
21 Nov 2025Product news
Primerdesign has launched its exsig® Mag RapidBead Pro Extraction kit. The next-generation magnetic bead-based kit can be used to extract high-quality DNA and RNA from diverse sample types. The streamlined and adaptable protocol enables efficient nucleic acid purification, helping researchers to move faster from sample to PCR testing, without compromising on yield and purity.
The RapidBead Pro kit offers magnetic bead extraction technology which has been optimized for simplicity producing quality extractions with a refined workflow for both manual and automated platforms. The surface activated magnetic particles are specifically designed to capture nucleic acids with high affinity, and combined with a single wash step, allows efficient removal of impurities present in the sample matrix. The nucleic acid is then eluted and ready for use in downstream real-time PCR applications.
The simple four-step workflow significantly reduces hands-on time compared to traditional methods, lowering the risk of contamination and providing users with a refined workflow to extract DNA and RNA in less than 20 minutes.
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.
Lyn Rees, CEO of Novacyt, said, “The release of the exsig Mag RapidBead Pro Extraction Kit is a key advancement in Primerdesign’s molecular workflow portfolio. 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,” she added.
Primerdesign’s exsig Mag RapidBead Pro Extraction Kit is available for research use only and can be shipped ambiently worldwide.
