Validation of Custom sbeadex® Forensic Kit

7 May 2013

In this application note the performance of the sbeadex® PACE kit is demonstrated. The protocol for recovering DNA from buccal swabs is shown to be in line with the PACE DNA team’s technical standards for loading DNA profiles to the UK National DNA Database is acceptable. The Tecan Freedom Evo extraction system within the PACE laboratory can be used to run the sbeadex® PACE protocol without any hardware modifications.

sbeadex Nucleic Acid Extraction Kits

LGC Biosearch Technologies

Our proprietary sbeadex magnetic microparticles are designed to deliver high yields of high quality DNA, and have long enabled high throughput automated processing.   sbeadex™ magnetic microparticles offer two key features which enable the extraction and purification of high quality DNA preparations: A novel two step binding mechanism via a patented adapter enables binding of nucleic acids more specifically. Final washes with pure water to deliver nucleic acids in high yield, purity and quality.   Features: Development of customised protocols to your requirements Tailor-made extractions like modified lysis or eluation steps according to user requirements Extraction speed optimisation - quicker results Highly flexible batch sizes   Technical advantages: Final washes with pure water to deliver nucleic acids in high yield, purity and quality No potential PCR inhibitors in wash buffers - e.g. organic solvents, salts, polyethyleneglycol Applicable for most popular robotic platforms (f.e. Hamilton, TECAN or KingFisher)   Available sbeadex kits: sbeadex plant kit sbeadex blood kit sbeadex plasmid kit sbeadex forensic kit sbeadex tissue kit sbeadex livestock kit sbeadex pathogen kit   The sbeadex technologies are suitable for high throughput automation and we have substantial experience developing sbeadex kits and protocols for use with a wide range of automation systems.
